Description

5 STARS "My students have been loving learning about holidays around the world with this extremely comprehensive resource! There are so many countries, so I can use it often. The students have particularly loved when we've discussed holidays from the countries their families are from or are otherwise related to. My Mexican-American students loved telling their classmates about the ways they celebrate Nochebuena in their families :)"- Cassandra G.

5 STARS "These passages are great. I got out a globe and we located the countries. The students were very engaged!!"- Teresa Tretbar (TpT Seller)

Inside you will find each informational text piece is duplicated. One copy has a border and the other doesn't. All other pages have borders. :) I did this for teachers who like to annotate and code the text.

I am incorporating technology into all of my units. The Table of Contents is on the second page. There you will be able to click the passage title and magically appear at the text desired. Saving you TIME.

Answer key is at the end of the unit. I printed each answer directly on the page.

The passages are not leveled. Therefore, I recommend these to be used as read-alouds for the first read for the lower primary grades.

Instead of using the word "Nativity" I used the phrase "Manger Scene". A manger is a trough used by cattle and horses.
