Holiday Celebrations

Although I am a bit late, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! We had a busy December. We worked on a Cinderella Around the World unit and there are a good number of stories that span the globe. The class found similarities in these stories and were able to figure out the characteristics of fairy tales based on this work. We are now working on the latest episode of 1-S Tiger News: Fairy tale edition.

The students shared their family traditions for the holiday season. Some brought in things to share, especially dreidels and stories of the Elf on the Shelf. Thank you to one student for bringing in and reading a book about Hanukkah. Here is a video of her reading.


Also for your listening pleasure... excerpts from the holiday concert.
