Mrs. Conner's Kindergarten Circus Crew: Holidays Around the World

Celebrating Culture!

Today we celebrated Holidays Around the World! We loved traveling from classroom to classroom and making different cultural crafts! In Mrs. Witten's room, we entered into Germany and learned all about the tradition of the Christmas pickle! In Mrs. Smith's class, we hopped on to Australia where we learned all about Australian holiday traditions! Did you know that Santa rides in a truck and it is pulled by kangaroos? Finally we made it to Mrs. Hopper's room where we learned everything we could about the holiday called Kwanzaa! We made candle bookmarks and were able to dance around to some tribal African music! At the very end, we traveled back to our own classroom where Mrs. Conner and Mrs. Tallent welcomed us to Asia! Here, we learned all about the Chinese New Year and made lanterns to decorate our homes. Mrs. Conner and Mrs. Tallent LOVE to dress up! We had so much fun traveling around the world and learning about how children everywhere are similar and different from us!

Our suitcases were filled with crafts from all around the world!

We thought Mrs. Conner was CRAZY when she told us in Germany St. Nicholas fills children's shoes with candy. Mrs. Conner made us take off our shoes and put them in the hallway. We completed our math centers while we waited for St. Nicholas to fill our shoes! After math centers, we went to check our shoes and to our surprise we found them filled with goodies!! We were glad he came to visit us!
