Holiday Celebrations: A New Book Display


"Holidays are not everyday happenings. Using holidays alone to teach about other cultures is called the “tourist approach” to learning about other people and countries. Clearly the American culture is more than the flag-waving, parades, fireworks, and eating hot dogs that happens on July fourth."http://extension.psu.edu/…/b…/news/2014/holiday-celebrations
Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences.
