Santa Lucia main lesson book drawing - leading children through drawing on chalkboard.

The children learned the Santa Lucia song, heard the story and made Lucia buns.  We then sang and brought the buns to the 1st grade.  This is not a festival at our school - yet!  The recipe I used for the buns turned out great and I didn't end up having to use the super expensive saffron (that's a lot of saffron if you make it for the whole school).  This is the recipe I used.  
I made the dough ahead of time because I have to teach my handwork classes all day and we just don't have enough time to make it all in the morning.  I gave each child a piece and they loved rolling and shaping them.  It worked great.
