learning about how other countries celebrate Christmas.
The students chose the country they wanted to research, and they worked in groups of two or three. They spent the week finding out where their country was in the world, and discovering the Christmas traditions of that country. They worked together to make a large banner about their country. Each group did a presentation in our class on December 22, to share what they had learned.
Chase’s mother, Julie Evans, treated the class with a food from each country. She brought the materials to the classroom and let the students cook their own treats. We had pizzelles from Italy, crepes from France, hot tea from Great Britain, churros from Mexico, sauerkraut with polish from Germany, and rice pudding from Sweden.
Countries and groups were:
Great Britain – Morgan, Jacob, Austin R.
Norway & Sweden – Logan, Austin E., Dylan
Italy – Abby, Brant, Mikayla
Mexico – Chase, Ashley, Lisa
France – Rachel, Evan
Germany – Anna, Zach, Kassandra
