We try to teach our kids as much as we can about the culture from the country they are acquiring their second language. But we do it in a very fun way. We are really used to celebrate Thanksgiving every year, of course for us is not a holiday so we have to go to school.
Since the beginning of November we start talking about the Pilgrims, Native Americans, and their history. This year we decided to teach the history through poems so we picked one for each class and they practice fluency and intonation while rehearsing it, it was a win-win situation. We loved the final result and the kiddos had a great time wearing their costumes, too.
