When I am organizing a unit, I often begin with books for shared, guided and independent reading. I have collated this resource to help you save time and find all of those fantastic Christmas books before you implement your unit. This classroom library resource should save you time and help students access a large range of Christmas literature. How to use this Resource: To help you find your books quickly, I have made a master list of books (text only) that you can easily print off. You may like to make a short list (see template pg. 11) of books on YouTube (there are so many). Your librarian may like to use your printed list to purchase books. Print your book lists 2 or 4 to one page, using your printer’s settings. You may even want to print them back to back. Use the check boxes next to each book title to tick off once you have found it. If you have any questions, please contact me via our TpT store.

    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.

  • Celebrate the Light! by the Rev
    Celebrate the Light! By the Rev. Kenn Stright, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations Committee Light is important in many religions and festivals throughout the world. It is most often the symbol of the divine who brings light into the world… “Let there be light!” (Genesis 1:3). Being such a religiously diverse and multicultural nation, Canada and Canadians have many wonderful opportunities to “celebrate the light.” God is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light is like this: there is a niche, and in it a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, a glass like a glittering star, fuelled from a blessed olive tree from neither east nor west, whose oil almost gives light even when no fire touches it—light upon light—God guides whoever He will to his Light; God draws such comparisons for people; God has full knowledge of everything—shining out in houses of worship. —Qur’an 24:35–6 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. (John 1:5) The “Where are you going?” questions below are to let people know they can go and celebrate these festivals of light regardless of faith background and all of them are found here in Canada, maybe just around the corner. Where are you going? To celebrate Diwali. It’s Diwali, come and see the lights! This is the festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world with each candle symbolizing the power of light to conquer darkness. Hindus also take advantage of this period to contemplate and dispel the darkness of ignorance.
