We have been having fun learning about holidays around the world and finding those countries on the globe. We have learned about Saint Nicholas Day and the story behind " a baker's dozen". We have counted to ten and said " Good Morning" in French, German, and Spanish when we learned about the celebrations in France, Germany and Mexico. We also had a snowman piñata that the children had fun trying to break to celebrate Las Posadas in Mexico. We made dragon puppets to celebrate the Chinese New Year and learned that red is a lucky color in China. We saw how close Sweden and Russia are to the North Pole and that there is very little daytime at this time of year. We also learned about the miracles of Chanukah and how to play the dreidel game.
