Holidays Around the World: Introduction

Yesterday our class got an introduction to our 2 week Holidays Around the World Unit! This is something I am so excited about, and have been looking forward to teaching for awhile!

Our first job was to get all our things packed for our trip around the world. We started out by making a suitcase. This will be used to hold our daily scrapbook as well as the artifact we get from each country. On the front, students were allowed to decorate as they wished.


On the back, we glued a map of the world. If you look at the key it gives you an idea of where we will be traveling on our journey.


The last item we needed is extremely important: our passports! If you are going to take a trip around the world you have to have a passport. We talked about what exactly that is, and I showed the class an example. Then each student was given their own "passport" for our travels around the world and asked them to complete the inside.



As you can see, on the right we even have a space for our passport to be stamped in each country we visit! Everyone was super excited to start our trip the next day!
