Hola!

The Grade Ones are on a great adventure around the world.  They will be answering the big question: How are our traditions the same and different than other families around the world?We began our trip by traveling south to Mexico on our Polar Express "sleigh."  While it was really hot in Mexico today and we really wished to hit the beach, we decided to read about the "Legend of the Poinsettia."  Though

there are different variations of this story, we read one by Tomi dePaola.  Students made a craft and retold the story in a mini book.  They also made beautiful poinsettias at the art center today.
