First Stop.... Africa

We began our week making suitcases to "travel" around the world on The Polar Express. Each day we visited a different country where we learned about their winter holiday, listened to cultural music, played a game, cooked a traditional food, made a craft, and listened to a story. Our first stop on Monday was Africa where we learned about Kwanzaa.
