What a week we're having in first grade!
For our Christmas around the world project, we have traveled to two countries so far! We started out in the United States!! Some of the American Christmas traditions we learned about include hanging stockings by the fireplace, putting up Christmas trees, going Christmas caroling, and spending time with family! We also talked about our own Christmas traditions! We are really getting in the Christmas spirit in first grade!
The next country we traveled to was Mexico! Thankfully we have Paloma to help translate for us! As soon as our plane touched down in Mexico, we were greeted with the Christmas carol “Feliz Navidad.” After, we watched a reading of the book Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie de Paolo. After, we made our own poinsettia’s in our travel scrapbook. It was so much fun. We also learned about Las Posados, which is a Mexican Christmas celebration. We ended our trip with hitting a pinata! Inside there was candy and toys! Below are some pictures from our fun day!
