Welcome Aboard the Holiday Express! All of our flights leave from gate 219 at Lakeview. We travelled to Mexico on Dec. 5th and learned about Los Posados and read Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie DePaolo. Then we made our own verson of the Flower of the Holy Night.
We travelled to Isreal and learned about Hannukah on Dec. 12th. We read stories about the Festival of Lights and played the dreidel game. A recipe for potato latkes was sent home for families to try. I haven't heard that anyone tried them. Let me know if you try it and like them.
On Dec. 13th we visited Sweden for St. Lucia Day. We found Sweden on our travel maps and then enjoyed cocoa and cookies while the girls wore their crown of candles and the boys wore their star boy hats. Cassie is our oldest girl so she was chosen to serve the goodies just like the oldest daughter in Swedish families.
