In last week's library classes we learned about three major holidays happening this December - Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. Feel free to engage your learner by asking them to share some newfound understandings about each holiday. They should have some insight to share.
For many, the nonfiction and fiction mentor texts provided a window into (a) holiday(s) they knew little about previously. What we discovered together in this lesson was that each of these holidays have so much in common (ex. light, candles, family, friends, food, music, dance, and joy - to name a few connections)! A reminder to all, that we too - like the aforementioned holidays - have more in common with each other than we often realize.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with light, love, wonderment, and books!
