Week 15
Welcome back, I hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends! I am excited about the season of advent as we await the celebration of our Savior's birth! Check out the details about the Christmas project, enjoy the week!
Christmas Around the World Project: Due Monday, December 18
Students will be coming home this week with the full instructions, poster paper included, for this project! Each child will choose a country from around the world to research how they celebrate Christmas. The poster must include 5 interesting facts and at least 2 pictures (these can all be hand-drawn, printed, or typed out). Students should also be prepared to give a short oral report on the country of their choosing. The final part of the project is to bring a holiday treat for 22 students, specifically related to their country that is traditionally eaten during the holidays. Good luck, have fun, and please don't hesitate to email with any questions! Can't wait to see the final products!
