We took a trip around the world to learn about how people all over the world celebrate Christmas! The children "visited" the Philippines, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Ireland, Australia, Russia, and Switzerland! WHEW!! It was quite a busy week! There were so many unique traditions and activities for us to explore!
 |
In Russia and Switzerland,
they gather around the Christmas tree and sing Christmas carols. |
 |
| In Mexico, they make Pinatas to break open! |
 |
| In Nigeria, they make masks to wear at a big parade! |
 |
In Ireland, people light candles in their windows if they would have been willing
to make room in their homes for baby Jesus. These boys are making their own candles! |
 |
In Germany, they make gingerbread men and houses.
For our cooking project, the children made the gingerbread dough
and then cut out the gingerbread men. |
 |
| Once they finished cooking, they of course had to decorate the gingerbread men! |
Our letter for the week was S. Some classrooms made "S is for Snake" and some made "S is for Santa"!
 |
| S is for Snake |
 |
We can't hardly wait till Christmas!
S is for Santa! |
The children (and the teachers) had so much fun this week! It was so exciting to learn how others celebrate Christmas and compare it to what we do!
