(for ages 2-7) Family Heritage and Timelines Nectar Recipe for Hummingbirds ~ Science Hands On Learning Free Science Activities from The Science Place

Help young students appreciate poetry and science with some fun filled autumn activites. Learn how the Mkeka, one of the seven Kwanzaa symbols, can be used to create some interesting math projects. Plan a scavenger hunt for students at the library to help them learn more about Kwanzaa. In the Fall/Winter 1999 newsletter, you'll also find detailed instructions on how to make an Oware game and suggestions for having children plan and help create a Kwanzaa meal.

Those not familiar with Hanukkah traditions, will learn how to make a menorah, receive traditional Hanukkah song sheets, and see an illustation of how to make a dredial.

You'll also find some interesting interdisciplinary activities which could be used to incorporate literature or science into the holiday lesson planning. You will find links for recipes, lesson plans and activities to make this hoilday season an extra special time for your students.

In our 1997 Fall/Winter newsletter, we have included a rather large booklist which includes traditional meals for almost any culture you can think of. (This booklist appears at the end of our newsletter.) These books have been recently published, so your local public library probably has purchased them within the past four years. We have included the ISBN, publisher and author so you can give this information to the reference librarian and he/she can see whether your local library system owns a copy.

Whether your roots are from Thailand or New England, you can find some wonderful recipes in these books which you may remember from your childhood. Some of these books are to be used by parents and teachers who want to assist their older children in learning recipes which have been passed down from generation to generation and reflect the culture/country their ancestors came from.

Half of this newsletter is devoted to gardening; the other is devoted to cooking and some deals with holiday planning. We discovered a wonderful Thanksgiving site which is filled with nearly anything you need to know about the origins of Thanksgiving to tips which will make this Thanksgiving extra special for your family. Locate additional, comprehensive multicultural lesson planning in our Summer Supplement 2001 newsletter.

Our multicultural lesson online planning newsletter will also save you hours of searching the net for multicultural lessons.

The links to free lesson planning information are located in the middle to latter portions of both Part I and Part II of this newsletter.

Some of the links have actual lesson plans for multicultural education ranging from preschool through high school.
