Responses to Winter Holidays Around the World by Wanda Kindell https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy Record your thoughts from today's presentations and at least one thing you learned. en-us 2016-12-14 13:19:55 UTC 2026-03-19 05:32:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Alex (Kaia hanukkah) https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143640795 I think kaia did a good job because she had all her stuff and she didn't have to look at the box to answer every question.
I learned that it is usually celebrated in Jerusalem and here in America



Ayden     Chinese New Year 
was neat







Nirvaan Diwali
was very neat and cool he actually celebrated the holiday and that meant that he new a lot more about it and he told us what he does and he put on what he wore on Diwali.I learned that they light lamps to celebrate how good overcome evil and men wear shervani and women wear sari




Omari Christmas
was very neat and did 2 instead of 1 so that was better and told us that in Soviet days Christmas was not celebrated often.Christmas is celebrated for the Christians to remember that Jesus died for use and then came back to life.

I think O'Shea did a good job. He answered the questions very well and had all of his info. He did not stutter (unlike me, because i'm a weirdo) and he spoke very clearly. I learned that they decorate the beach and that they make sandmen, which was pretty funny. Although he did not have his info on the box and his symbols were inside,  he still did a great job!
95/100
NIRVAAN
I think Nirvaan did a great job. He was able to answer questions very well and did not hesitate or stutter. He even went the extra mile and wore his symbols! 
To be honest, I didn't know anything about this holiday, so I think I learned a lot.
100/100
AYDEN
I think Ayden also did good. He had all the right information and his box was wrapped neatly. Unfortunately, he did talk a bit too fast and I didn't understand some of it. But besides that, he did a great job and I am happy for that!
I also learned that they eat rice and seafood.
98/100
OMARI
I think Omari did a good job, mainly because she had all her information and could answer questions. Although it was not on her box, she was still fluent and read well. With the exception of Roman / Ramen. But I did learn that some Chinese know about Christmas, which is awesome!

there were different variations of the holiday. i give her a overall of a 9/10(Oshea) His presentation was great he had all his information to answer any question that was asked about his holiday of choice while for the box he made a hole on top than put symbols of his holiday inside it.what i learned is that they celebrate in the heat.i gave him 8/10.(Nirvaan) He had one of the  best presentations well that's what i think he gave lots of information abut the holiday he picked and explained one of the origins of the holiday he also had symbols of the holiday such as what they wear what they pray to.the fact i learned is that there were different variations of the origin of the holiday. i give him a 10/10.(Ayden) Ayden had a great presentation he had all the important details of the holiday why it was celebrated he also had symbols of the holiday but he id stutter a little which is a shame since he has all the things to get a 10/10 he got a 8/10 .i learned that ]]> 2016-12-14 16:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641015 Ayden https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641023 I think O'shea did very good at presenting and you could tell he put a lot of time in it mainly the symbols and I learned that Christmas came Australia. 0-100 95%

I like how Ayden did his because i like the pictures he put on his box because i had a better understanding of it.Nirvaan he did great because of the cloth he wore and the shoes it help me see what the males wear on the holiday he did.

I learned that hannakkah is actully a very religious holiday and that it had games i had no idea i thought it was some kind boring holiday.
Oshea's presentation-His presontation 0-100 was a 92 because one problem is he did not cover his whole box but he was very creative with the inside.I learned that it was hot in Austraila in christmas I had no idea.]]> 2016-12-14 16:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641134 Madelyn G https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641193 To be honest i have learned some things that i didn't know before like...
>I thought Kaia's presentation was great because   of how clear she sounded and how she presented it.The holiday that she chose was very interesting.She had a lot of facts and i liked that she included my second favorite thing "which is donuts "and of course my first favorite thing is "Starbucks" anyway she did great.
>I thought Osheas project was also very interesting.I didn't know that they would build snowman out of sand ,probably because we are use to doing that with snow.He had a lot of interesting facts and details like the inside of the box did as well.
>I thought that they both did an amazing job.
>Aydens presentation was great because of all his information and details in his information.
>Omari gave me a great perspective of this holiday.I thought this holiday was original but very detailed in its own way which i thought was very cool.She not only put one amazing holiday she put two which no one else did which was unique awesome amazing and she put so much hard work, it even looked like so much work was put into it .GREAT WORK!

>Nirvann's presentation was awesome or outstanding he new so much and had so much information .I learned so much because it was so interesting , he did not only give knowledge but he also gave something that no other presenter gave which is direct communication and pronunciation which i thought was awesome.He not only celibrates this holiday but he know the background of this holiday without even looking at the box.His symbols were so detailed and beautiful in its own unique way!GREAT JOB!!!!!!]]> 2016-12-14 16:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641193 Samantha samhal9812 https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641207 The first presenter (O'she)had lots of information i thought would be there,I had learned from him that even in hot places christmas is still celebrated.
The second Presenter(Kaia had also done a good job because,she had many details like the origin of Hanukkah and what they ate and more,I learned that In Hanukkah people use many things to keep the menorah candle is lit for 7 days.
The third presenter(Ayden) had shown some nice things about Chinese new years and he did it fluently so he kept everything brief but  thoroughly,I learned that each Chinese new year's years are represented by animals.
The fourth presenter(Nirvann) was very in depth and I didn't know he celebrated Diwali but,he showed us what men wear during preying and there foodstuffs and more.
The fifth presenter(Omari) was nice but kinda basic seeing how she referred several of things we already know about christmas,but I learned that only a bit of people know the true story of christmas.]]> 2016-12-14 16:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641207 Anthony anthil2121 https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641469 Here is what I think about the presenters (Kaia & O'shea). I think that they did really well because they show us some things that we did not know. Like Hanukkah I did not know that there was 7 candles but lasted for 8 days. That just BLEW MY MIND(a little). 
Now with Nirvaan,Ayden and Omari all did well but my personal favorite is Nirvaan's presentation because he had stuff that he got things that he used to celebrate diwali.]]> 2016-12-14 16:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641469 Nirvaan https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641487 I liked both of the presentations they both had facts about their holiday and I learnt facts about both the holidays.I learnt that their is a different Christmas in Australia and they celebrate it in different ways than we do.I can't believe people in australia celebrate celebrate christmas on the beach. I thought Oshea's presentation was good. I think Kaia did good on her presentation I learnt some things about Hanukkah I didn't know like they eat jelly donuts and they give gifts to each other gifts.Ayden also did good I learned new things about chinese new year that like they eat chicken and rice or they spend time with their family.Omari did well she told me why christmas is celebrated in detail and she showed me wghat people decorate their house with.]]> 2016-12-14 16:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641487 Madilynn https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143641674                    Kaia
I think Kaia did a good job. She had good facts and thought about each  question we gave her. I learned that  the menorah could stay lit for 8 days and nights.

                  Oshea
I think he did a good job even though he did not do his box correctly. Something I learned was when he us that there is a famous boat race on that day.

                   Nervan
He did a great job. He had lots of information and could answer questions very well!I learned that woman/teens/kids where saris.

                   Adyen 
He did well on his project. He had good information and did well on his box.I learned that this holiday last 15 days.

                         Omari
She did a good job. I think she could have had a little more information but she had good facts. I learned that Christmas comes from different places.

i never knew that australians celebrate christmas on a beach or at least near a beach but on the rating for oshea i would give him a 3 because he did have all his information and people were still able to ask him questions but the reason i'm giving him a 3 is because of his box and how it was not done incorrectly now if his box was put the correct way it would be a 4 for me.]]> 2016-12-14 16:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143642330 Sierra https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143642647 Oshea- Christmas in Australia 
Had lots of information and I really did learn some interesting things. 
  • Christmas is usually on the beach.
Kaia- Hanukkah 
She did a good job and I liked it but I think she should have done a bit more research.

Ayden- Chinese New Year
I think he did good and had lots of information.
  • Chinese New Year starts on a full moon and ends on a new moon 15 days later.

Was great and had lots of information.

I liked how he told us what they do at the beach and what sports are played. Such as cricket. I also did not know that Christmas in Australia is celebrated on the beach. I think he should get a 95 out of 100 for this project.
I think that Kaia did a very good job answering the question that she was asked and for her whole project. I liked how she listed what they ate and what they did for Hanukah. I also enjoyed when she gave me the reason why Hanukah   was created and why it is celebrated. From Kaia's project I learned that during Hanukah people eat a doughnut with a strawberry filling. I believe that she should get a 97 out of 100.
I think that Nirvaan did a very good job on his project, answering the questions and explaining his his answers. I enjoyed his 5 sysmbols and how he said what they symbolize. I also liked that he dressed up to show what the males where for Diwali. I did not know that for Diwali females where Saris. I think that Nirvaan should get a 100.
Ayden did a pretty good job on his project. I learned that from his project which was Chinese New Year that it is about love.]]> 2016-12-14 16:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143642660 Elizabeth Gross https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143642959 O'sheas project:
I did not know that in Australia was hot during Christmas and that Santa came from the water o a ski board.Over all I know that O'shea did an great job

Kaia project :
I had no idea that hanukkah did right to left when they light thre candles to represent that they read right to left.Or that the main candle lighted the other candles and there was 3 on each side.Over all I know that Kaia did a great job. 

nirvaan project:
I had know idea that they made wood candle holders to put outside of there house and what made it more cool was that he celebrated it so he could explain it more than others.over all I know he did a great job.

aidens project:
I did not know that dressing up like the dragon made it scared and I did not know they celebrate it for more than one day.over all I know aiden did a great job

But the thing i liked the most is how good of a job people did on making the decorations on there, and to be honest I think they all did a good job presenting and answering our question. The thing I learned from one of the projects is that it doesn't snow in Australia, and that was a surprise to me because before that O'shea told us that Santa surf boarded there. I think he should get a 5 because in my opinion i thought details to and decor was great even on the inside!]]> 2016-12-14 16:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143656448 Adriana-kaias project https://padlet.com/wandakindell/iwa6q3wqcgcy/wish/143656948 kaia definitely gets a 4 because she had a lot of information and was able to answer almost all of her questions her box was rapped fully and no errors were made.

Omari presontation-I think Omari got a 92 because she could not say some of her words right but other than that she did great. I learned that some people hang angles on their christmas tree I thought they only used them on the very top of the christmas tree. 
Ayden's presontation-I think he got a 96  because his was really good but some words he did not really say correctly otherwise i think he did great. I learned that people dress up as dragons on this holiday and i have never herd of dressing up as dragons on a holiday.
