Create a North Pole

Today we visited Italy on our travels around the world for Christmas....

And I'm sharing a fun way to get the kids to still think before the break....they have to create their own North Pole!

Fly on over to The Teachers' Cauldron to grab your directions on how to build a North Pole! 

Travel Around the World

This week we've been traveling around the world, learning how different countries celebrate Christmas. Today we traveled to Mexico, and have already visited Israel!

Fly on over to The Teachers' Cauldron to see our "souvenirs" from our travels!

While there you can also see how we measure out some trees today...

Happy Teaching!

Ho-Ho-Holidays!

Are you looking for some "Christmas Around the World" ideas for your classroom this holiday season? I know my students enjoy learning how other Christmas is celebrated in other countries around the world.

I have been working on adding new, free items to my unit and just today added a list of the books that I use to my blog.

Pop over to my blog or classroom website to take a peek at my *mostly free* unit... Christmas is just around the corner! One of my students told me it was 40 days away today... how is that possible?!
