Learning about holiday celebrations around the world is so interesting! So far, we have learned about Christmas in The United States, Mexico, England and Africa. In Mexico, Las Posadas takes place during the nine days before Christmas. We learned that poinsettias are grown in Mexico and are used for decoration during the holiday season. Assembling virtual poinsettias on the ActivBoard was really fun!

Long Ago and Today
Each November in first grade, we compare life in our community as it was long ago to how we live today. We are really looking forward to our trip to Bethabara so that we can see first hand how families lived long ago in our area. After the trip, students always feel very thankful for the modern conveniences that they enjoy today. That's especially true after they learn about bed bugs and chamber pots!
