This document outlines an assignment for 4th grade students to learn about various winter holiday traditions. The students will be split into groups to research Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, and Kwanzaa by reading stories, watching educational videos, and making posters about each holiday. Materials like a manger, menorah, lantern, and kinara will be used to demonstrate different traditions. Each day, the students will examine holiday objects, read materials, and work on their posters while the instructor provides further details. Students will be evaluated through an object recognition quiz and by presenting their posters.

Mostly females but only by slim majority of 11 to 9. Of these students, 8 are
Kinesthetic learners, 8 are Visual Learners, and 4 are Auditory Learners. Through
