We're studying how Christmas is celebrated in other countries. People in the Netherlands are visited by Sinterklass, who looks somewhat like Santa Claus, but rides a white horse. The children put out their shoes with a letter to Sinterklass and carrots for his horse. Sinterklass leaves candy and toys in their shoes if they've been good. Yesterday we made paper shoes and left them on the desks and this morning we were all shocked to find that they had some candy and a whistle in them! A couple of the kids accused me of putting the things in their shoes, but I told them I wasn't crazy enough to put whistles in there! What was Sinterklass thinking???
