Christmas Around the World Scrapbook

Hey there, teacher friends!  I have gotten so many emails from all of you asking about my Christmas Around the World Scrapbook from last year, so I decided to make a "new and improved" version.  I am SO ridiculously excited about this packet!!!  I am seriously counting down the days until December so I can give my kids their tickets aboard "Christmas Airlines", and we can fly around the world to learn all about Christmas traditions in other countries!  The scrapbook comes with a little teacher's guide to help spark creativity, and it also gives real facts about each country--to help us "tour guides" on the journey!  If you are doing a Christmas Around the World Unit, I hope you will go check this out!!!  As always, thank you so much for your continued support, encouragement, and sweet notes and emails.  I am very thankful that I can share and receive ideas with amazing teachers from all over the world! 

  

Christmas Around the World

Last week our class "traveled" the world to learn about Christmas traditions in other countries! As we traveled, we took in some of the sights, and we created a scrapbook page to remind us of all that we learned along the way. We began our trip by going to Hawaii! We read this adorable book (that just so happened to be written and illustrated by a first grader--very cool):



We thought it was pretty funny that Santa decided to vacation in Hawaii, and we decided to pretend to be Santa and write postcards back to the North Pole. Here is a fun one:





Feliz Navidad! We also visited Mexico and learned the Legend of the Poinsettia:


Buon Natale! We loved touring Italy! We learned about La Bafana and we took "photos" at some of the famous landmarks!
