[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener is happy to learn about any religious holiday if something delicious is involved. The more shots on goal for special snacks, the better. [/quote] Yes, but... people fast for Ramadan. People fast for Yom Kippur and the Ninth of Av. It's not cute to reduce my religion to a coloring page and a snack.[/quote] Huge eyeroll here. What do you expect kindergarteners to absorb about these holidays? My Muslim Kindergartener is not fasting, so it wouldn't make sense to drill home that point to his classmates. We pick other aspects of the holiday to discuss and came up with crafts for the kids to do. The point is for kids to feel acknowledged when their own holidays are different, and for other kids to become aware that other holidays exist. I don't need a bunch of kinders or even 1st graders to be able to name the 5 pillars of Islam. [/quote]
