Italy - a book about Italy and its holiday traditions
I used this printable book to teach my students about Italy during my Christmas Around the World unit. Each classroom in my school was given a country to represent. My class was assigned Italy, so I wanted to go into a little more depth. Not to mention – I’m Italian and wanted to share some fun info with my students about Italy.
Copy the pages back to back and staple them in the middle.
Enjoy!
