Our school is uniquely diverse, with over 15 different cultures in our school community. During the Holidays, it is extremely important to value other students' beliefs and traditions. I have always taught a "Christmas Around The World" unit that included at least 1 country from each of the five continents. Last year when I came to Holdeman, I learned that traditions must also be taught and celebrated. In doing so, the students gain respect and understanding of their peers who celebrate differently from them.
The supplies I am asking for will directly provide the students access to books on some of the celebrations celebrated by their peers.
When the students read these books by choice they will have their own questions to ask and it will be a learning tool for students to share their traditional celebrations.
The paint sticks are expensive but well worth it for our young 1st-grade students. The paint sticks will stop students from spilling water, getting paint on their clothes, and playing with paint, as well as an easy clean up for the 1st-grade teachers.
The Christmas season will end soon. However, I still have other cultural traditions that need to be celebrated and taught to respect all my students in the classroom. These requested supplies will help me make learning about other cultural festivities exciting and fun-filled with a craft.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
