Christmas Around the World ~ Mexico

We traveled around the world studying different holiday traditions. We went to Italy, Sweden, Holland, Hanuka, and Kwanzaa. Our last stop and most favorite was Mexico. Mrs. Orner's class joined Mrs. Button's class and together we broke a pinata and received new pencils, crayons and glue sticks!

I am NOT a Turkey project

We had ballerinas, Santa Claus, a cow, a dalmation, football players, army men, ningas and a swimmer. Thank you to Grandma K for helping us during this project. The children enjoyed writing their speech bubbles and using humor in their writing. Thank you for you help at home too. :)
