Today the students learned about St. Nikolaus Day and the traditions and celebrations associated with this holiday in countries like Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. They sewed felt shoes which they left out for St. Nikolaus to fill. This also helped the grade 3 students appreciate the work pioneer children put into making handmade gifts this time of year. Today we made, and baked, traditional German "Nikolaus men" (sweet bread). A special thanks to Mrs. MacDougall (the EA in our classroom) for sharing her holiday traditions and to Mrs. Klukas for helping out today.
