How other schools/homes open up the conversations about celebrations that take place around the globe, in different cultures and withing different traditions. Just lovely!

Instead of focusing on one holiday, we are inviting everyone to share the holidays they celebrate no matter what time of year. So from Hindu children we learn about Diwali, from Muslim children we learn about Ramadan and Eid, from Jewish children about Yom Kippur, and yes Christmas from Christian children. In that way we are not excluding children of other faiths as well as cultures. And we are not expecting Muslim children to enjoy making Christmas ornaments or crafts they have no use for. By expanding the conversation and experiences, we make more room for understanding, mutual respect and hopefully lasting relationships that will influence our future leaders.bwcagrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544425662540003040noreply@blogger.com
