Sinterklaas 101

Many thanks to a special mom in our class. She shared family items from their own Sinterklaas collection. We learned more about Sinterklaas. His name comes from Nicholas and he is originally from Spain. Every year, he and his helpers, Zwarte Peiten, arrive in Holland by boat with their horses. The children leave wooden shoes filled with hay outside and they are filled with treats. However, if you have been naughty, the Zwarte Peiten will wait and chase you. Thanks so much for this fun presentation - the children loved the pictures and fun shirts.
