English, Spanish Volume IX , Diciembre Mundial . The purpose of this volume is to provide teachers with a rationale and resource for lessons that use December celebrations as a theme, and to assist teachers in the United States with comprehensive information about December traditions in Mexico. We suggest that you make the school as safe as possible for persons of all belief systems. Although much of this material may be used as a reference in preparing religious celebrations, when used in public schools, it also may be used as a point of reference for learning about people, and enjoying it. For example you may focus on peace, good will, good news, freedom, visiting and serving those in need, the spirit of giving.
Gifts wear out or get lost in time.
You may ask the students, what did you give from your heart. Be more interested in people than in things. Take advantage of the enthusiasm of the students as they anticipate the celebrations of the season. Focus on magic moments, kind acts, and thoughtful remembrances. Respect the traditions of all the students and their families, but don't give up trying to expand their vision of the world and teaching them more.
