Who said we have to just celebrate during the month of December? Our class even celebrates Chinese New Year! One way to help incorporate the different traditions is to invite parents in to share. In this way, the child not only feels special because we are celebrating their culture, but they also have their parents or family member in as well. This way no one gets left out. I always send a note home with my students inviting in the parents to share their traditions with my class, no matter what time of year they happen to celebrate a particular holiday. Not only do the students love learning about the different cultures, but the parents appreciate it as well. Name: Email: Subject
