[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can encourage your school to have guest speakers. I'm Indian (Hindu) and I go into each of my kids' classrooms to talk about Diwali and Holi. I spend about an hour in each one - do a craft, a story, and bring/make a snack. One year we made roti (flatbread). [/quote] Diwali and Holi are religious festivals. I was told talks don't belong in schools as they no longer mention Christmas. IS this a private school your kids go to?[/quote] Not that PP, but at my kid's public school, they mention Christmas, and Hannukah and holidays from other religions. They took a field trip to see a play about many holidays from different cultures and countries. [/quote]
