[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS had an activity like this for the PK kids a couple years ago.  It is a gentrifying school so there is some thinking by some of the teachers that they have to provide these types of experiences at school because some kids don't get them at home.  I get that it feels kind of weird because of the association with Easter.  But I think its fun for the kids which is the main benefit.  When you start stripping away all the fun stuff like this at school it starts to feel pretty joyless.

OP you need to use this as a teachable moment.  My kid was sad to learn about Hanukah at school and wanted to know why she wasn't getting presents for 8 nights.  [/quote]

Which is really why schools should not be celebrating holidays (Hanukah presents for eight nights, what?) with young kids - teach about religions when kids are capable of reading and nuanced discussions - MS/HS. [/quote]

What? Of course young kids should learn about the holidays some of their classmates celebrate! And then learn to deal with the fact that they are celebrating a different holiday.[/quote]

'Hanukah presents for eight nights' is a Xmas projection by goyim.  Hanukah is a minor holiday with as much religious meaning as St Valentine's day [/quote]

I know this holiday has been inflated in order to compete with Christmas. My point was simply that whatever holidays classmates celebrate should be fair game to teach about at school, and don't need to be avoided as a topic in order to protect the kids from gift envy.[/quote]
