Traditions!

Today, in my first grade classroom, we were talking about traditions... what are they? why do we have them? and what do they mean?
most of the children caught on very quickly.... which led to the sharing of their own family's christmas traditions---
so funny-

"my family always listens to elvis music. i hate elvis music" - i bet her children listen to elvis music at christmas- what do you think?

"at my house, the night before christmas i get to sleep with my mom and dad- i am afraid my dad will shoot the reindeer and hang them on the wall" hahahaha

and then.... i thought i would crack up!

"mrs. pekkala, is wal-mart a worldly tradition?" - yes, she is gifted, no questions asked.... but this shocked me.

have a great one.... and don't forget why we do the things we do!
