December Holidays!

We've been busy learning about holidays celebrated by people around the world! Our first holiday, St. Nicholas Day, is celebrated by people in Northern Europe. On December 6th, children leave shoes for St. Nicholas to fill with candies and treats. Each child in our class made a (paper) shoe and left them out on December 5th. When they arrived the next morning...their "shoes" had candy inside! St. Nicholas made a trip from Northern Europe to visit a very special group of children here in Hinesburg!
