  Case: Holiday's With Jehovah's Witness
What is the best way to teach or reference holidays when there is a Jehovah's Witness in the class. I wouldn't want the others to hinder in activities and celebrations.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When teaching, teachers should differentiate between knowledge needed for historical/ cultural context and any celebratory activities. All students need informational content that might influence the context for reading or historical comprehension. However, this is different from celebrating holidays. Provide alternative assignments that are aligned with the same goals as the rest of the kids for students with religious preferences to participate in.

Comments: I agree, having the children come up with information, seems like a good way to make the students aware, but also bring the class together.

Comments: This solution is the best of the 4 because it calls attention to the fact that the students aren't;t learning about different holidays to celebrate them but to simply learn about them and there is a difference between factual knowledge and celebration activities
