Happy Holidays!
Fall is in full swing, and you know what that means – the holidays are here and it’s time to chat about the celebrations happening in our classrooms! I’ve got you covered with some fantastic classroom read alouds to make this season even more special!
Culturally Relevant Teaching
Now, let’s talk about something super important – why it’s crucial to teach about holidays and cultures, even if they aren’t the ones we personally celebrate. Culturally relevant teaching and diversity matter, and embracing the rich tapestry of celebrations makes our classrooms more inclusive. Incorporating these lessons through read alouds is simple and effective, especially for teachers who may not be familiar with the holiday themselves.
