Preparing Inclusive Holiday Celebrations with Lydia Farmer & Kalai Ramanathan


Listen Later

Lydia Farmer and Kalai Ramanathan join the podcast to talk about preparing inclusive holiday celebrations in the classroom.

While some educators choose to avoid all holidays for fear of leaving anyone out, Lydia and Kalai feel that this misses a valuable opportunity to create a sense of belonging for the children. Instead, Lydia and Kalai celebrate a multitude of holidays and celebrations from around the world throughout the year. This allows every child to see themselves reflected in the classroom community and exposes the children to new perspectives. 

Lydia and Kalai talk about how they weave this exposure into the life of the classroom throughout the year. They describe their largest classroom celebration, a solstice celebration, which becomes a culmination of all of the Practical Life and Grace and Courtesy lessons the children have received and practiced.
