Holiday Themes

Posted on 08:21 by Unknown

It's holiday time again! Many schools are looking at how other countries are celebrating the holidays. I gathered some resources and wanted to share them. Below are web sites that have information for students to learn about different countries and their holiday traditions. I hope you enjoy them!

The Gift of Holiday Traditions
What is Ramadan 
What is Rosh Hashanah
How do People Celebrate the Winter Holidays in Different Ways? 
NCWiseOwl websites
German Holidays
Christmas Around the World
Christmas Traditions Around the World

How is Christmas Celebrated Around the World

Christmas Around the World Lesson

For those schools that have Interactive White Boards, there are plenty of holiday themed lessons in SMART Exchange and Promethean Planet.  I also have been re-tweeting some holiday activities that would show up great on IWB's. Here are some of those games: 

Santa Run
Christmas Activities
Create Your Own Snowflake 
Create Your Own Wrapping Paper using Patterns

Want to create snowflakes and learn about symmetry? Try this lesson plan on The Symmetry of Snowflakes. 

If your class is going to read "The Polar Express", click on this link The Polar Express. You are your students can explore different parts of the book. For example, the boy's house, a tunnel, etc.
