About these christmas for 1st grade worksheets

These Christmas worksheets for 1st graders keep December learning on track. Children solve Christmas word problems and addition and subtraction facts to 20, read a story about lighting up a neighbor's house and a nonfiction passage about reindeer, and answer questions in full sentences.

Writing pages ask for an opinion about the best gift to give and a thank-you note. Children also read a picture graph, answer questions about a December calendar, find words in a word search and practice vocabulary and ABC order. Every page with one right answer has an answer key on page 2.
