Note: In this pack, students are learning about 4 winter holidays. For simplicity purposes, Christmas is used as it is traditionally celebrated in the United States. I do realize there are many ways to celebrate Christmas. I will be working on a “Christmas Around the World” pack soon where I will have students comparing how different countries celebrate Christmas. This pack does not go into that. This pack is specifically designed to teach basic facts about 4 winter holidays and compare those holidays. It is not meant to be an extensive, thorough investigation.
