Shownotes

In this episode, we explore the magic of December in the classroom. We highlight the importance of inclusive learning about winter holidays, focusing on the gingerbread theme. We engage in reading, writing, and math activities centered around gingerbread, while celebrating holidays from around the world. Emphasizing diversity and encouraging students to share their favorite traditions. 

In this episode I share:

  • How I focus on holidays around the world vs just Christmas
  • The ways in which I use different Gingerbread books
  • The books I incorporate into my winter and holiday units 
  • How the students are able to share the different traditions that they have with their families
