Winter Holiday Presentations

Wednesday was a very busy day in Room 10!  We frantically finished presents and cards in anticipation of snow (thankfully!).  The snow itself provided a fun distraction!

Sprinkled throughout our busy day were some wonderful presentations about various winter holidays from around the world!  We learned about:

• Ganna, from Ethopia
• Dutch Christmas
• St. Nicholas Day, from Germany
• Oshogatsu, from Japan
• Saint Lucy's Day/Saint Lucia's Day from Scandanavia and Italy
• Hanukkah (two separate presentations)

These presentations were well researched, well organized and well presented!  The audience listened very respectfully, asked great questions and gave kind compliments.  Ask your first grader to tell you about some of these interesting traditions!
