As you know last week we traveled to Germany and learned about the first Christmas trees. This week we traveled to Mexico, Israel and Greece and learned about the traditions from each country.
In Mexico we read the Legend of the Poinsettia and made these beautiful poinsettias.
In Israel we learned about Hanukkah and played the dreidel game.
We also made these cute menorahs with our hands.
In Greece we learned about where the first stockings came from.
We did stocking addition sentences on our fireplaces and we sewed our own stockings to hang in the classroom.
We've also been practicing using our sight words for writing sentences.
And we are working on increasing our stamina with quiet reading time during Daily 4 Reading rotations!
