Holidays Around the World


This week we are doing Holidays around the World. Each teacher is representing a different country. We will visit each country throughout this week. While we are visiting we will learn about the country and its holiday traditions. We will also make a craft while in each country. Our country is Mexico. I read The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie DePoala. Then we each made our own poinsettia. The kids seem to enjoy visiting the other countries, they even have a passport that they made. They must show their passport to each teacher in order to enter each country. We will conclude our Holidays around the World on Friday with Sweden. We will also have our holiday party on Friday, don't forget your book for our book exchange! I hope you all have a wonderful break. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

We used ads and cut out our favorite Thanksgiving meal then we tried to see how much it would cost by adding up the prices of everything.
