SOCIAL STUDIES
Our new theme this month will be “December Holidays Around the World.” We’ve explored the holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kawnzaa. We compared these holidays noticing how family and friends get together making special foods, exchanging gifts, and decorating, especially with candles.
This theme is providing an opportunity to use map and globes. We distinguished land and water and are learning the names of the 7 continents.
