In Social Studies, we've been learning about families. One of our lessons was about holidays and how every family celebrates them - but that different families celebrate different ways or even different holidays all together! So the timing was perfect. :)
We started by reading a great book - Celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It's a National Geographic book, so it has beautiful pictures and the text was perfect for my class!
Afterwards, the kids colored a Rosh Hashanah picture while I sliced up some Gala apples and poured out a few dishes of honey. We dipped our apples in our honey and decided it was the best snack EVER! Tomorrow we'll graph whether we liked or didn't like apples and honey - we didn't get to it today. :)
I love celebrating multicultural holidays with my students!
what a great idea! I wish I would have done something. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love getting new ideas for multicultural lessons! I will have to check out that book-and I'm sure the kids just love the apples and honey snack!
