Winter Holidays
One of the most exciting things during winter are all of the holidays people
celebrate with their friends and families. There are many different
holidays that fall during the winter season.
Watch the BrainpopJr. video on Winter Holidays.
No matter what holiday you celebrate, you and your family have special traditions.
A tradition is something that family, friends, or another group of people has done for many years and continues to do on a regular basis.
Learning
about other people's traditions is an excellent way to learn about
other cultures, beliefs and more about your friend!
We got together with a Mrs. Broussard's third grade class. Each student in Third Grade has had the
privilege of participating in a 1 to 1 program. This means that each
student gets their own Acer to work on in class. Working together we will collaborate on creating a blog comment about our family traditions for the winter holidays. We will be posting our comments on both our class blog and
I love to go to Sweden in the winter because it is fun. My grandparents and I go out into the forest and cut down a Christmas tree. Then we drink hot chocolate to get warm because it is often cold in the winter. This is one of my favorite winter time traditions in Sweden.

Dear Families,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jack and my name is Matthew. Matthew celebrates Hanukkah. Matthew loves playing dreidel .Matthew likes playing dreidel because he likes reading Hebrew and eating delicious chocolate. You get to read Hebrew when you land on different letters. When you win the game you collect all of the chocolate. Jack celebrates Christmas. Jack loves to go to Candy Cane Lane. Candy Cane Lane is a lane with houses flooded with sparkly lights. We both love to open up spectacular presents. Do you like to open presents?
Your holiday friends,

Hi Mrs. Levy's Class,
ReplyDeleteYour videos are wonderful! I am so proud of all of you. You really understand how important it is to appreciate everyone's differences and to remember the important lessons Dr. Martin Luther King taught us. One of my favorite things he said was: "Intelligence plus character - that is the true goal of education." What do you think he meant when he said that? Keep learning and never give up!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Brazell
