Social Studies News!
***4-2 Homework due Monday 12/9- write down three fun facts about your Christmas country.  Facts can be about food, religious and/or family customs, Santa traditions etc.  Record these in your Social Studies notebook.


Christmas Around the Word has begun!  We will be embarking on a journey around the word to find out how different countries celebrate Christmas.   The students will work in cooperative learning groups to research a given country.They will put the information on a poster, that I supply, which will highlight what they learned about the Christmas traditions in their country. They do NOT have to write a report. The project will be completed in school with the exception of printing pictures and/or anything else they decide to do.  Hopefully, this will be an exciting educational experience and fill us with the Christmas spirit!
