 Hey everybody, welcome to the Walduck Way. I'm Jessica and today's video is a look inside the brand new Holiday Fun Around the World curriculum. Holiday Fun Around the World is an opportunity for your family to experience different cultures, countries, and holiday traditions. You will be able to celebrate, observe, or learn more about 12 different holidays, festivals, or celebrations and they are Christmas, Chinese New Year, Diwali, Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Los Pesadas, Ummasoka, Ramadan, St. Lucie's Day, St. Nicholas's Day, and Warner Solstice, or Yule. In the very beginning you will find a Map Your Holiday Fun Around the World. So what you will do here is have your child color in a different color for each of the holiday celebration or festivals and then they will color on the map all the different places that they are observed. The Around the World page here is an overview and these are all things that you could use throughout the entire unit study, none of which are required, but there is a video and extras with QR code, there are books, and there are additional resource suggestions, but those again can be used throughout the entire thing. One of my favorite things about Holiday Fun Around the World is that there is no additional required resource, so just this is enough to do the entire unit study. There are additional suggested resources, but you don't need any of them to do this unit study and that is because the information is within the curriculum itself. So here is a write-up about Christmas that's going to tell you all about Christmas, how it's celebrated, the different names that Santa might be referred to in the different places, how it began as a Christian holiday and has grown into something that people, you know, of other places recognize and celebrate and how they do that, and then kind of different ways that you can celebrate it if you choose to do that. There are also discussion questions at the bottom of each one so that it gives you something to discuss with your child after you've read it. And then here is more information on Christmas, so there's additional books up here if you choose to read them. There is a YouTube playlist with a clickable link and a QR code with some videos about Christmas and Christmas Around the World. There is a QR code and a clickable Pinterest board with some crafts. And then here at the bottom there is a recipe and each and every holiday is set up just like that. There is also an original one-of-a-kind hand-drawn coloring page for each holiday festival or celebration as well. And then there is a recording sheet where your child can record some of the different things that they learned, which is like the day that it's celebrated, the greeting that's used here obviously would be Merry Christmas, the different historical figures that are associated with it, decorations that are traditional, the food that it's eaten, and different traditions that may or may not take place for that. So like I said, everyone is set up in a very similar fashion. And then you also get a few extras. And those extras are a passport where you can have your child put a picture of their name, their age, and then you can date each time you attend a different celebration. So just a little souvenir of your unit celebration. You also get boarding passes, so you can have your child's name and the different destination you're heading to, which would be the different celebrations, festivals, or holidays. And then there are also templates to make an ornament. So this is one that has already been made, but you will have a template to be able to make a different ornament to hang on either your tree or make a banner of and kind of have a way to symbolize all of the different holidays, festivals, or celebrations that you learned about throughout this unit study.
