Celebrations Around the Globe

 

 

Students in Pre-K through 5th grade at Rocky River in Monroe, North Carolina learned about Holidays Around the World recently.  Take a walk through our hallways to see our learning and work.  Around the Globe from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa we found some similarities and many differences.    We compared them to our own celebrations.   Kindergartens learned about celebrations in the United States.  First graders learned about celebrations in Countries throughout Africa.  Second graders learned about celebrations in Australia and even had a chance to Skype with Upper Plenty in Australia to compare their celebrations with ours.  Third graders learned about celebrations in Europe, fourth graders studied Asian countries and fifth graders explored South American countries and celebrations in our annual Holidays Around the World focus.

Do you think it’s important to accept others values and beliefs even if they are different from yours?

What is your favorite celebration?

  1. Hi Roadrunners
    Your displays look amazing, it must have been fun to walk around school and find out about different celebrations around the world!
    We had a very special Christmas tradition going on in our classroom in the run up to our end of term… it is from Catalunya in North-East Spain, and I learned about it when I lived in Barcelona. You have a special Christmas Log called Tio de Nadal and you feed it little bits of leftovers each day. It’s a very private creature and only eats them when you’re not looking… then on Christmas Day (or in your Christmas party, which is what we did), you sing a special song (and beat the Tio with sticks!) and it turns all those leftovers into… presents and sweeties!
    I love all the different traditions that everyone has!
    Have a lovely holiday
