Traditions Unit

We have been studying traditions in our class. We learned that traditions are things that we repeat and that have been passed down or will be passed down from generation to generation.

We read the book: When the Box is Full, written by Patricia Lillie. In the book, a child adds something into her box each month to represent the time of year. We were inspired to make our own boxes, based on traditions throughout the year.

We have worked our way through a few months so far, but we still have a bunch of months of traditions to go! These are our boxes so far...

You might have noticed your child brought home a brainstorm paper tonight that elaborated on a tradition. Each child chose a tradition they enjoy and filled out their details through illustration. Here are a few:









Ask your child what his/her favorite tradition is and why!
