Tomorrow is
the Feast of St. Nicholas. In
Germany, children put straw and carrots in their shoes and leave them out for
St. Nicholas’ horses on December 5th. The next morning they awake to find their shoes filled with
small gifts and sweets!
We used our
Christmas in Germany Mini Unit to teach about this holiday. The students read our non-fiction mini
book and completed a fact sheet about St. Nicholas Day. We are collecting all of our fact
sheets to put into our Holidays Around the World Suitcase Journal. As a culminating activity the students
made boots and stuffed them with carrots.
We will see if St. Nicholas visits our class tonight! This mini unit is available at our TPT store or by clicking here.
