...and we are off!!!

Holidays Around the World

The kids are very excited!  Today we received a package from Globe Trot Scott!  He travels around the world and sends packages to our classroom to help us learn how other countries celebrate Christmas.  He will be visiting us many times before we leave for Christmas vacation.

Today Globe Trot Scott sent us a package from GERMANY!
Froehliche Weihnachten!
That is how you say Merry Christmas in Germany!
Part of our job today was to read all about Germany and answer a few questions.  We found Germany on the map and looked up what their flag looks like also. I decided that one day I would like to go to Chriskindmart!  It is a big shopping experience in Germany around Christmas time where people go to get delicious food and do their holiday shopping!
Here is a picture of our Germany fact sheet!
 Tomorrow, we will spend another day in Germany and learn all about gingerbread houses and tinsel.
Boarding the airplane to GERMANY! Check out their tickets!
