Teaching holiday traditions to 4th graders. There are twenty students 11 girls,
9 boys. There are 2 Muslims, 3 Jewish and 2 African Americans. The students
are of average intelligence, and range in age from 9-10 years old. The
students range in races and cultural upbringings. Although the students may
share common knowledge of certain customs or traditions, it is certain they
will differ from other students family’s traditions.
My objectives are to teach that not all holidays are celebrated the same way,
but just because they are different from what the student may know does
not mean it is wrong. My audience is 4th graders so to teach them the best
way would be to let the Muslims learn the African American traditions, the
Jewish children learn the Muslim traditions, and the African American
children learn about the Jewish traditions. In other words to offset the
children and the customs they are used to, and we can do this in a research
project form.
All students learn in a different way so to reach all the children I would start
by again not letting them do a project on the traditions that they currently
practice with their families. Some children learn better with visual aid so for
them I would use posters of the different holidays, and to use a power point
presentation to show pictures of the difference in the cultural traditions.

Other children learn better with auditory learning activities so for these
students we could incorporate songs and stories, and let the children tell
their classmates what they learned about the other cultures holidays to see if
that’s how the students do things in their homes. It could be like an open
discussion. Some children learn better with a more of a hands on method
approach. So to help these students we could let each student bring in an
item that their families use for their tradition and what it means to them. We
could let all the students touch it and ask questions about the item to help
keep them interested and engaged.
