Christmas Around the World

 

First grade traveled around the world and learned about how Christmas is celebrated all over the globe! They had the chance to learn about the holiday traditions in India, Israel, Germany, France, Italy, and Sweden.  Students had a special video visit from someone in Sweden named Lisa-a good friend of Mrs. Blasko! Students learned about all the countries' different traditions and foods.  They also sampled panettone (Italy), gingerbread (Germany), and gelt (Israel).  The students were able to enjoy music from each country too!  Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, God Jul from 1st Grade!
