Our second grade class literally traveled around the globe in December! Our entire grade level participated in a "Holiday Serendipity" so that we could learn more about different cultures and their holiday celebrations. Students boarded the Meadowlark Holiday Express with passports and luggage in hand each day. Our travels included the countries of Germany, China, Holland, Norway, Australia, and Mexico. We were very fortunate to have Aidan's mom share Hannukah traditions with us and Reesa's grandmother visited our classroom to share Moravian customs/traditions. America is truly a "melting pot". We enjoyed comparing/contrasting holiday traditions and creating paper crafts. The tasty food samples were delectable! Do you know which country gave us the tradition of the lighted tree? What was the original purpose of the Moravian star? Ask your child to "share" their souvenirs from their suitcase and tell you about what they discovered on their journey. We hope that you will enjoy these "snapshots" from their trip!
