MERRY CHRISTMAS AMELIA BEDELIA BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Your students will laugh along with the story, as Amelia Bedelia does everything she's asked ...literally... to get ready for Christmas. She makes a date cake, filled with numbers from a calendar. She stuffed stockings for the children, with stuffing. She trimmed the Christmas tree, with pruning shears.

Amelia Bedelia decorated the Christmas tree with colored balls, like orange basketballs and brown footballs. She strung lights on the tree, using big lightbulbs. Amelia Bedelia wasn't sure what kind of star should go atop the Christmas tree, so she put a mirror up there. Now anyone who looked up into it could be the star!

Amelia Bedelia even arranged for three girls named Carol to greet their guest, as she liked to greet the guests with carols.

Thankfully Amelia Bedelia made a delicious spice cake that everyone enjoyed, which appeased her employers after all her silly antics.

And, because it was Christmas Eve, Santa came to visit! Amelia Bedelia was not supposed to see him, so she shut her eyes.

This Merry Christmas Amelia Bedelia guided reading unit includes lots of activities, so you can easily differentiate to suit your students' learning abilities and needs.
