It's Thursday which means in our Homeschool we are getting ready for  "la Navidad" (Christmas).    I know it's not technically December 24th and 25th, however, we are coming to an end of our week long learning about Christmas in Argentina , SO that means we need to Celebrate Christmas.  We prepared, as many Christian Families do, who live in the Northern area in Argentina (where it's Summer weather) by decorating a tree with cotton balls.  (aka snow) Also making red and green decorations (wreaths) .   We then baked our "pan dulce" sweet bread . (aka cupcakes for us)   You won't be hearing any "Polvora" (fireworks) but the children will receive a little present in the morning from "Papa Noels".    The girls set up the "pesebre" (Nativity).      In addition to preparing for tomorrow's celebration - we were able to sneak in some Scholastic.... A word game (which Zachary LOVES) And some Christmas activities!  Ex...

Today I got an "I love school mom" ..... "you are the best teacher". .... now I know it's only a "moment" that I get that, but I will take it! Probably because of this.... LEGO BINGO today!   (you can find this game and more at Homegrown Learners) Plus they had to create a Christmas Mini Figure. Girls having fun with the dot daubers from Royal Balboo Love it when the older ones help out the littles.  Makes my heart sing 8) Today while we went back to Argentina studies we found out that in the Northern part of the country they don't get snow during Christmas as it is their Summer - often they will use cotton balls to put onto their Christmas Trees to mimic the white stuff.  Kids thought that was a hoot.    Tomorrow - a craft to help decorate for "Christmas Eve" in Argentina! Until then - Be Blessed!

While the Southern part has a cold climate like Alaska.  WOW that would be hard to pack for a trip to Argentina!  Buenos Aires a very big city in Argentina.  The Andes Mountains are also found in Argentina.  Each child has their own Christmas Around the World Folder. Using printables from Living Life Intentionally.  Love these! This was in our Little Passports suitcase.  Making SNOW!  This is used on movie sets and other areas to create snow. It lasts f...
