Recognizing all Holidays/Traditions in your Classroom

I worked with my students to put together a Holiday/Traditions Star! This activity is great because it teaches the VALUE of DIVERSITY and gives kids the chance to share about a holiday or tradition they celebrate. Something we need to bring to our students' attention all year long. 

This activity gives opportunity to not only discuss the different holidays that are celebrated within your classroom during this time of year, but also gives everyone a chance to see the value in learning about each other. The goal of this activity is to teach kids that by learning about each other, we are far less likely to judge each other. I like to tell my students that when people judge, make fun of or act negatively towards someone, it is a clear sign that the person acting unkindly does not understand the one they are picking on.

We made the star and taped it to the whiteboard (very limited wall space in this classroom) and when the students returned from Specials, they saw the star and gave it an applause! They are the cutest!
