Holidays Around the World

Years ago, I posted about my Winter Celebrations Scrapbook.  You can check out the post here.  Last year, I felt like we needed to condense our activities.  We were shorter on time and had a full packed curriculum that needed to be incorporated as well.  I decided to alter the booklet just a bit, but the original is still included in the resource.

I created one page passages and a place for students to draw a single snapshot of something they learned about the country or celebration.  The following countries/celebrations are included:
 
U.S.A.
Kwanzaa
Mexico
Germany
France
Sweden
Hanukkah

Check out my little guy's snapshot for Sweden.  That Tomten is too cute!!!  
Each of the pages is formatted like the page below. 


There is also a separate smaller booklet with multiple questions for each of the passages and a map is also included.


I LOVE to incorporate read alouds as I introduce each country/celebration.  
Here are just a few of my favorites.
