Holiday Break

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday and were able to spend some time with family and friends! I can not believe our kindergarten year is half way over! We have had a great year so far and I know that it will only get better!

I have been meaning to post something about our Holiday program all break and now here I am on the last day finally posting something... I am so very sorry it took me so long.

Mrs. Schroeder and I are so proud of all our friends - they really did an amazing job at the program. Here is a recap of our program - unfortunately I did not think to video tape our program so if anyone has a video they would like to share with Mrs. Woita that would be great! I am sorry our songs are missing.

The two days before break we played fun holiday games and also had a photo booth which of course was a favorite - for both students and teachers and here is a video of some of our pictures which we showed before our program started...

Hello everyone and welcome to our Holidays Around the World program! We traveled to 5 different countries and we will tell you what we learned in each one. We also made a video of our travels for you to watch. Then we will sing a song for each country.  Let's  get started...

We first traveled Germany and in Germany families decorate Christmas trees and we made a Christmas tree in Germany! Here is the video of us in Germany...

Then we traveled to Holland and in Holland Sinterklaus leaves gifts in kids shoes and in Holland we made a wooden shoe with carrots and hay! Here is the video of us in Holland... 

We then traveled to Israel and in Israel they celebrate Hannukah and in Israel we learned how to play dreidel! Here is the video of us in Israel...

Next we traveled to Africa and in Africa they celebrate Kwanzaa and in Africa we made kinara bracelets! Here is the video of us in Africa...

We also traveled to America and in America we made ornaments and we use jingle bells to celebrate the holidays. In America some kids get presents from Santa! We even had elves that came to keep an eye on us! Here is the video of us in America and of our sneaky elves, Snowflake and Isis. 

We enjoyed learning about different cultures and we liked learning how people celebrate! Here is the video of us during our travels.

 

Again I hope you had a wonderful holiday break!! Stay warm! :) Mrs. Woita
