It is always fun to celebrate the Holidays, especially sharing and learning about others traditions in the classroom. I love the spend this time talking about different cultures and diversity in the classroom. The United States is a huge melting pot and because of its multicultural nature it's important to teach children about tolerance and how to celebrate our uniqueness.
One of my favorite things to do around this time, is to teach children about holidays around the world. You can find tons of information and ideas on Pinterest about Christmas Around the World. I have been pinning like crazy to my Christmas in the Classroom Board. If you would like to follow it or become a collaborator I'd love to add you!
Here are some awesome blogpost on Christmas right now:
Another awesome teacher who has some adorable Christmas Activites is Abby Mullins @the Inspired Apple!
She has created these ADORABLE December themed anchor charts. They are sure easy to use. You just print the pieces out, cut, and then have students complete the finishing touches.
There are so many great products out there. I love Christmastime. Kids love this time too and incorporating some holiday fun into your curriculum is a great way for your class to stay engaged and entertain before Christmas Break!
Happy Teaching!
