    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie Depaola
    The Legend of the Poinsettia By Tomie dePaola The Legend of the Poinsettia is based on an old Mexican tale that tells the story of the classic Christmas flower – the poinsettia. Young Lucida works with her mother to make a woven blanket for the Baby Jesus to wear at the church’s Christmas Nativity ceremony. Lucida tries to finish the blanket on her own when her mother gets sick, but it turns out to be a disaster. She ruins the blanket and is horribly embarrassed. Because of her, she thought, the family had no gift to give the Baby Jesus that night. Instead of joining her family for the Christmas ceremony, she hides outside the church service that Christmas Eve. An old woman approaches her to tell her that “any gift is beautiful because it is given.” Lucida looks around and all she sees is a patch of old weeds. She places the weeds around the manger and they magically turn into beautiful poinsettias.
