Edgewood students study holidays around the world

Second grade students at Edgewood Elementary School did a unit of study on holidays around the world. One country of focus was Germany. In Tyler Martin's class, the students painted pinecones to represent the Tannenbaum, the German word for a fir tree. The students also used tinsel and arts and crafts poms to decorate the tree. Tinsel was used because the students read about the legend of tinsel, where Kris Kringle magically transformed spider webs into tinsel one Christmas Eve.
