Buon Natale!

This week our first graders traveled around the world to learn about Christmas traditions in other countries. They traveled to Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, China, Germany and Italy. Each one of our first grade teachers chose a country to dig into!  My classroom studied Italy. We had a special visit from La Befana herself!

 

Our class continued to learn about Christmas traditions from Italy today. We learned about The Feast of St. Lucia, St. Nicholas, the Feast of 7 Fish and that the most important holiday symbol in Italy is the Nativity scene. Then we had a taste of Itlay! We had our own "Feast of St. Lucia" (which in Italy will actually occur December 13th) with fettucine alfredo, spaghetti, garlic bread, canollis and biscottis! It was delicious!

Here is Wyatt digging into his feast!
