I love to share Christmas traditions, but also enjoy sharing

how other celebrations are celebrated this time of year.

The first week in December I am sharing this story, since Chanukkah starts Dec 1st this year.

I also have dreidels on the table so the students can have fun playing a game from that celebration.

The second week of December we are sharing Christmas traditions. I am not reading a story, but letting students share their favorite traditions or Christmas memories.

The third week of December I will "serve" the students a cookie from a tray as they enter the kiva, then share portions of the story below about Saint Lucia Day and how it is celebrated, since it falls on December 13th.
