This is such a late post but full of beautiful celebrations that were only possible through the kindness and support of our classroom community. Thank you so much for the parents that volunteered their time. I also want to extend a big thank you to everyone who donated and participated in our learning about different celebrations around the world. A few of these are: Christmas, La Posada, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year. Our parent and teacher presenters were amazing! They shared their culture and traditions with our class. Enjoy our photos!
