It’s December - Officially in Saipan -(well we do get to preview it while the rest of the world is still sleeping)
It’s a month of multicultural festivities and living in Micronesia with an extremely diverse population, we celebrate quite a few cultural affairs. From the Native Chamorro and Carolinians, from Thailand to Japan, from Mainland China to the Philippine Islands, from Korea to Bangladesh, we are diverse and participate in celebrating the customs and traditions of those who live here.
To celebrate a month of multicultural holidays the History Channel has developed programs to provide great teaching opportunities about many celebrations of our multicultural world. Now your students can learn about world traditions and the History of Christmas, as well as learn more about Kwansaa, St Lucia, Hanukkah and the Legend of St Nicolas.
Education World has a great resource page for teachers filled with links to lesson planning ideas about these multicultural traditions and celebrations. This resource should ease your prep planning period.
Education and learning socially about others' cultural traditions fosters understanding and respect, so join your students, you’ll enjoy the month of celebrations with them.
