NNCC Food For Thought: Fall Celebrations For example, while we teach the history of the thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations,do we also teach the history of other cultural and religious holidays? http://www.nncc.org/Diversity/sac32_food.fall.celebr.html
Extractions: Recently, I was reminded of the need to constantly reflect on our philosophy of education. Our 4-H community club circulated and approved a calendar for its monthly meetings of volunteers and parents. I didn't notice that any meetings conflicted with any celebrations. However, our regular council meeting, scheduled for the first Tuesday in October, fell on the eve of Yom Kippur, one of the High Holy Days in the Jewish religion. Yom Kippur concludes a 10-day celebration of harvest time. Yom Kippur means "day of atonement," and is a solemn time when Jews try to cleanse themselves of sin. Sometimes they fast from sunset to sunset. For Jews, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, which begins the 10-day celebration, are a time to remember the past and to hope for the future (Polan & Cantwell, 1983). Not knowing that Yom Kippur begins at sundown of the preceding day, we had goofed. Again, I realized that we must always be aware of people's cultural, religious and social beliefs. With this awareness, we can help each other to begin accepting and respecting each other as human beings. Our scheduling error also made me think about all the different holidays that are celebrated throughout the year. For example, in November and December not only are Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrated, but so are Hanukkah and Kwaanza. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration of the "Festival of the Lights." It commemorates the freeing of Jewish slaves over 2,000 years ago. Kwaanza, also a festival of lights, is observed over seven days beginning December 26, and celebrates the harvest and the African cultural family heritage.

Extractions: Extra Credit for Thanksgiving This tip shows you how to offer some extra credit mixed with a little family interaction. It probably stems from many of my own familys Thanksgivings. When were together at Thanksgiving, Mom and I do the turkey and stuffing, and every other family member also contributes to the meal in some way. I call this tip the Be glad youre not a turkey! extra credit. Heres how it works. I give my students extra credit for helping plan, cook, set the table for, and clean up after the Thanksgiving meal. Since I teach math and science, I have each student bring in a 3 x 5 recipe card with measures and cooking directions (time and temperature) for the dish he or she prepared. Parents also sign off on what the student helped with at home. This activity can link class work to students helping at home, thereby bringing math and science into the real world. Anyone who has ever tried to prepare a Thanksgiving meal can tell you about the considerable time, measurement, planning, and food safety precautions involved.

It's a wonderful story, but, unfortunately, it's just a story. The image of pilgrims and Indians dining peacefully in Plymouth is just "a national myth that we now teach our school children," says Eric K. Silverman, associate professor of anthropology at DePauw University.
