Funded Nov 28, 2023I absolutely love doing this unit in third grade. Students love Christmas and when they realize that other kids celebrate the holiday different, it's so exciting for them! They love to learn about the different countries, traditions, food, how they gift give etc.
This year it was very exciting because we were able to complete all of the crafts and try different snacks from the donations received from this project. The students loved decorating their "suitcases", trying the Mexican candy and the butter biscuits. The students also loved being able to take home their own cookie cutter and gingerbread ornament after we learned about the gingerbread cookie from Germany.
We also loved having our hot chocolate party when we talked about how a few different countries enjoy hot chocolate around Christmas.
Thank you so much for making this possible for my students!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. McNeel
