This week, we are traveling the world. That's right, we packed our suitcases, created our passports and mapped our trip around the world! We didn't even have to leave our classroom. Each day this week, we travel to three locations to learn about the holidays celebrated around this time of year. Our first step is to find the country on the map of the world. Then, we watch a quick video clip of the plane taking off and landing in the country. We also get to view the journey on Google Earth which is super cool to see! When we 'arrive' we add the newest stamp to our passport and begin learning about the culture and traditions.
When arriving in a country the first thing we learn is how to say hello in the language spoken in that country. We read about the traditions revolving around the holiday celebrated and discuss if that is similar to our own holiday traditions. We view many beautiful images of the country and decide on a souvenir to bring home with us. We created the souvenir, put it in our suitcases, and return prepare for our next step on the journey.
