Making Schultuten in Kindergarten

This week in Kindergarten we learned about Germany!  One very special German tradition is the Schultute or "school sack".  This is not really a sack, as much as it is a decorative cone, typically made of cardboard and tissue paper!  The tradition is that students get some special goodies in their schultute from their teacher on the first day of school.  This makes going back to school even more exciting!  This week we worked on making our own schultute.  When they were finished, I secretly slipped in a few pieces of candy for each child to take home!  These were beautiful, and everyone was so excited to take them home and share about the tradition with their parents!
