During my practicum in September 2024 I completed a lesson in my Grade 1/2 class on family traditions that highlighted how we are all unique. It was a lesson in a unit about identity which emphasized the beauty in our individuality. Prior to working individually, students heard a story that shared many celebrations around the world so they would not feel constrained to the holidays recognized in the Canadian calendar. Students considered the traditions in their family that were special to them and had opportunities to share them with me individually, and with the class. The lesson ended with another story featuring students in a class tell each other all about their special days through the year.
