Holidays and Celebrations Around the World

Reminder:  Please make sure you fill out the form on your child's ancestry/origin and return by Monday, November 30th! 

This morning, we broke into groups to learn about different celebrations and holidays around the World.  I asked that students pick a holiday that they themselves do not celebrate, so that they could learn about something new! The students read through their books, became experts about their holiday, and then prepared a small presentation on their celebration/festival.  Each group got to present theirs to the class, and answer questions.  Everyone did an excellent job on this!

At home, ask your child to tell you about "their" holiday/celebration!

These are the holidays and celebrations we learned about:

-Cinco de Mayo 
-Chinese New Year
-Kwanzaa
-Diwali
-Hanukkah
-Christmas
-Ramadan and Id-ul-Fitr
