Christmas in Mexico – Las Posadas – Holidays Around the World

Description

This pack is all about Las Posadas and Christmas in Mexico! Their are tons of reading selections included in the pack, but there is also so much more! Start off with a K-W-L chart, then go over Las Posadas vocabulary, read through the reading passages, and do some craftivities! I also included teacher directions and a list of my favorite Las Posadas children’s books!

Reading Passages: There are three different reading selections.

1. a flier about las posadas
2. a flier about the holidays in Mexico
3. a short passage (print and digital version included)

Craftivity: There are 2 craftivities! One is easy, and one takes a bit more work.

1. The easy one is a directed drawing of a poinsettia. This is all in a Google Slide.
2. The second is to create a piñata. Students really enjoy making the piñata, so if you have the time and patience, I would try it!

Extra Activity

• I included a fiction read aloud. It is a sweet story about a poinsettia. I paired it with a simple graphic organizer. It is a slide in the digital resources pack. I included a YouTube video of the book being read aloud.
• I also included some coloring bookmarks for those early finishers!
