Holidays Around the World

In the month of December our class took a trip around the world with Globe Trot Scott. We got packages each week from Globe Trot as he visited different countries and learned about their holiday traditions. Throughout the month we read literature from different cultures, reflected on traditions that are similar and different to our own, and did a variety of holiday activities based on what we learned. This is one of my personal favorite units that we do in first grade. We had lots of fun as we learned about the world around us!

A huge thanks to Mr. Hartman who came in to teach about Hanukkah, Ms. MacKenzie who skyped in with her class of third graders in Denmark, Ms. Salvato who skyped in from Argentina, and Ms. de Sousa who shared photographs from holidays in Brazil!
