Good evening everyone in light of thanksgiving holiday or family traditions what are some fun things you teach your students about being thankful and cultural traditions. In my class I talk about how thanksgiving started by reading books and talk about how people celebrate holidays I around the world by having group discussions.. we talk about how their family celebrates thanksgiving and what their favorite thing to do to celebrate. I record the children responses on chart paper for parents to see and follow the discussion up by making a thanksgiving trail mix for my friends to enjoy. Example bugles corn chips to represent cornucopias and Chex mix to represent different friendships because Chex mix has a lot of different colors that can represent cultures and diversity. Just to name a few ingredients I use to represent our thanksgiving trail mix. My class loves this. I just wanted to share a something I do to celebrate holidays in my classroom. Please share your cool ideas I love reading everyone ideas. Happy holidays everyone. 😊
