We Don't all Celebrate Christmas

Hi Grade 1/2's!!!

I learned something so cool this week and I can not wait to share with you!! Did you know that in Australia not all people celebrate Christmas! Some celebrate something called Hanukkah. I mailed a book to your teacher so you can learn a little bit about this holiday. I thought we could do something fun to get excited about Christmas together, so I picked out my favourite Christmas stories and wrapped them up. You are going to read one each day until Christmas break! Let the countdown begin! Can you share what you learned so we can compare notes? I wonder how you will share it...
Some more information about Hanukkah
