Reindeer Close Read

We are ALMOST to Thanksgiving which means before we know it, there will be the mad dash to Christmas and the holidays.  I am trying this year to be ahead of the game, and with the push for complex text, I decided to work in a little informational text by way of the reindeer (aka caribou).  I plan to have this printed and ready to go for the week after Thanksgiving.  
A lot of great learning is included, with facts about reindeer that I had no idea about...they're fascinating!  I know my students will be thrilled to be learning about Santa's favorite animal!
You can my newest close read all about Reindeer {HERE} on TpT!
I also added it to my Close Read Bundle #2!
Find the Bundle {HERE} on TpT  (it's a great deal!)
Hope your Sunday is a happy one and if you'd like to win a copy of this close read, leave a comment and I will choose a winner this week!
