Part of our learning unit this holiday season is discovering how children all over the world celebrate Christmas. Today we had a visit from
Sinterklaas. He came all the way from Holland to fill our shoes with treats. Although he usually visits the boys and girls in the Netherlands on December 6, this was a special exception to help us learn that not everyone uses stockings for treats from Santa. The boys and girls left their shoes outside of our classroom and returned to find small treats. What a fun day! We found some really fun horns - we think that
Sinterklaas left these because farmers use large horns to share the sounds of Christmas with neighbors. (But
Sinterklaas is pretty smart - because these horns don't make much noise - they are just festive.)
