Holidays in Greece and Mexico

This week we "flew" to Greece and learned about the tradition of hanging stockings.

We laced our own stockings and decorated them.

We've been learning about combinations of 5 during math time and we made our own fireplaces with stocking combinations!

We have also been working on the teen numbers in math! We sequenced numbers on our stockings and practiced writing numbers 11-16.

We also flew to Mexico and learned the story of the poinsettia.

Holidays Around the World

December is an exciting month filled with wonder and joy! We wanted to learn how people in other countries celebrate in December. In order to learn about other countries, we had to board a "Room 2 Aircraft" of course!

These plane tickets are ready to make our learning reach new heights.

This is your captain speaking. Please find your seat and stow away any unnecessary items.

Did everybody find their seats? Good! Time to buckle up and take off!

Some of us took a road trip around America, and no road trip is complete without wearing sunglasses.We read stories about Reindeer and we created our own Reindeer peeking through a window craft. I wonder what he sees?

Larkin's reindeer saw a tree and candy through her window.

We learned that a Christmas tree originated in Germany.

The Germans also gave us gingerbread. To celebrate this German tradition, we read the Gingerbread Man and retold it by making our own books.

We measured gingerbread men using cubes.

We sang, danced and acted out the Gingerbread Man.

Throughout our travels, we keep all of our "souvenirs" in this suitcase and document all of our experiences in our passports!
