Boy, I love the Holidays!
Our room is now warmly decorated with christmas lights and trees, ornaments, garland, Santas and snowmen. Holiday piano and string music is playing lightly in the background as we write in our journals and participate in individual and group work. All the work was well worth the effort when I received a big "Thank you, Ms. Taylor!!" as the students got their first glance of the transformation.
This week we will be remembering the reason for the season as we look back at the history of Christmas and other winter Holidays around the world. We will be focusing on the winter holidays celebrated in the U.S., Mexico, France, Sweden, and Canada. We will be "visiting" these countries to learn about their holiday traditions and will be documenting information in our Christmas Around the World Passports. If you have particular winter holiday that you would like for us to study in class, please email me and I would be more than happy to address it!
Happy Holidays!
Ms. Taylor
