Holidays

So far this week we have talked about Christmas and Hanukkah.  Tomorrow we will start to learn about Kwanzaa.  Yesterday we learned what a Menorah is and how many candles they have.  We read the book, "Mrs. Greenberg's Messy Hanukkah" and found out how to make Latkes (Potatoe Pancakes).

 

Then today we read "Who'll Pull Santa's Sleigh" about when all the Reindeer got sick and Santa had to figure out who would pull his sleigh. 

 In the book Santa's Elves got very upset when they heard the Reindeer were all sick so we made Elf Applications to work with Santa. 

Our IB Planner for the next few weeks is on Maps.  So we mapped the North Pole after we checked out what everything looks like up there on www.northpole.com.  If you get a chance, check it out!  It's a really neat website with a lot of educational Christmas things.

 

 

 

    Our Maps turned out great!  We included Santa's House, The Reindeer Barn, Elf School, Elf Village, The Weather Station, and last but not least The Workshop!  Hope everyone is having a great week!
