- Winter Holiday Unit -this week we focused on St Nicholas Day (Sinterklaas Dag) celebrated in many European countries on December 5 and 6. Students read an informative article, analyzed a narrative writing prompt, and then wrote a story that included relevant details from the text. We made authentic wooden shoes (hey, paper comes from trees and trees are made of wood!) and left them on our desks to be filled with either candy or coal.
Waiting for our shoes to be filled
