For the past two weeks we have been celebrating Christmas around the world in our classroom. Every day we would get on our plane and fly to a new country to learn about a new holiday celebration.
Don’t forget! When you go on a trip to a foreign country you need to bring along your passport, plane ticket, and suitcase!
Our first stop was Israel to learn about the holiday traditions for Hanukkah. Our favorite part was getting into small groups and playing a game of dreidel!
Our next stop was Africa to learn about the holiday traditions for Kwanzaa.

Our third stop was Mexico to learn about the holiday traditions for Feliz Navidad. Here we are making our own poinsettias!
After Mexico we took a flight to India to learn about the holiday traditions for Diwali. Diwali is known as the "festival of lights" so we are decorating our own 'candles' for celebrating.
Our final stop was to the North Pole. In order to get to the North Pole we couldn’t fly there, so we had to take the Polar Express! I have posted all the pictures and activities for this day under the Polar Express post.
We had a blast traveling around the world to celebrate the different holidays and traditions.
