The Elephants and The Honeybees are researching information and traditions about Chinese New Year, Las Posadas, Hannukah, and Kwanzaa. There are so many resources we can use in order to learn about how people with different cultures celebrate. We are spending our time in the library this week reading books, exploring the internet, and watching videos to find out all about other cultures and traditions around the world!! This project is even more exciting because we are getting to work in groups!
