Holidays Around the World
This past week we began a Social Studies unit study about holidays that are celebrated around the world. Tuesday and Wednesday, our students learned about Sweden and one of their special holidays, St. Lucia's Day, which is celebrated on December 13th. We ate a cinnamon twist with raisins and icing and made St. Lucia's crowns. If your child liked these, you can buy cinnamon rolls, braid them and bake them according to directions.

On Thursday and Friday we learned about Israel and how they celebrate Hanukkah. We made dreidels and even sang about them at our Christmas Performance for the Book Fair on Thursday night. On Friday afternoon, we filled out our passports and tried latkes. If your child liked them, you can purchase 8 of them for $2.99 at Trader Joe's.
