Celebrations Around the World!

For the past couple of weeks, we have been studying CELEBRATIONS AROUND THE WORLD! Each student created their own "passport". As we learned about celebrations from around the world, they were given "stamps" to place on their "passports"!

We learned about Hanukkah and even created menorahs!

We learned about Kwanzaa and created kinaras!

We learned about the importance of poinsetta flowers to Christmas in Mexico. We also had chips and salsa to celebrate Feliz Navidad! We made "maracas" for this celebration and danced around to the song "Feliz Navidad"!

Below are pictures of a few of the students placing their "stamps" on their "passports"!




We had a great time learning about the different holiday celebrations around the world!
For the last couple of days, before the Winter break, we learned about Christmas and shared the ways that our own families celebrate the holidays! What a wonderful way to begin the holiday season!
