I was looking for any ideas about activities to do, holidays to include, and books to use during Reading Workshop to help my kids get a really good understanding that Christmas isn't the only holiday celebrate during this time and not everyone celebrates, and of course, have a blast while doing it. I've been looking on TPT and Pinterest but there are just SO many ideas it's hard to narrow them down. If you have any great ideas- please share!!! I'll share with you all of our fun when we go on intersession and I have some time to post pictures! :) Thanks a bunch!

Holidays Around the World
Alright my peeps (All like-17 of you.. YEAH!!) I'm looking for some help from you talented, experienced, amazing teachers! I have 3 weeks left before winter intersession.. Can I get a HALLELUJAH?? The last week and a half, I want to take my kids on a "trip" around the world to explore and learn about all the holidays celebrated during this time. Since this is my first year teaching, I was hoping you could help me..

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Scholastic resources: http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/holidays/
Here's a good book to check out: http://www.readinga-z.com/book.php?id=140
My recommendation is to have the students make a passport where they can record their journey through different countries, cultures, and holidays. Maybe make a basic template that they can fill in for each one you focus on, complete with a "stamp" section where they draw a picture of something to represent that holiday or culture.
What a fun project - I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
