  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!)
Jehovah's witness students often feel left out because the activities are holiday based. They are not allowed to celebrate holidays because it is considered "bearing witness to a false god". These students should however still get to enjoy games and food. Great days for them would be field day and maybe the 100th school day party. I would implement reading parties and things to that nature that way all the students can bond over academic based celebrations.

Comments: Yes, I think if you can easily change what you celebrate to include all children. The celebrations we have in our classroom should be inclusive to all and it is our responsibility to make sure that happens.
