Day 323

Saint Nicholas
Tonight is the eve where many kids around the world put out their shoes for a treat from Saint Nicholas.  This was a fun tradition we did at my last school (a Catholic school).  

Well, today on Wonderopolis.org the Wonder of the Day was all about St. Nicholas and a few of my students observed this tradition.  We read all about St. Nicholas, including his date of birth and death.  After closing up, I heard a student saying how she didn't know that Santa Claus was dead!  

"Oh no!"  I screamed in my head...I had to clarify this one!  I reiterated that I was referring to Saint Nicholas not Santa Claus.  Eeeeeeek!
