In response to questions about celebrating Halloween, I noticed an opportunity to explore why and how we celebrate in early learning communities. From thinking about relationships with families, to upholding integral rituals, to fostering cultural competency, to honouring what a seasons invites, and creating a community protocol for making decisions, this episode documents my journey of reading literature, taking questions to our staff meeting, and capturing our thinking. By wandering through the joys and tensions of celebrations that pedagogy invites, this offers a series of thoughts and decisions that are merely one example of pursuing questions about celebrations within in our community.
Disclaimer: this is one version of the story that took place. As a pedagogical leader, I am in the privileged position of having paid time to reflect deeply on events that take place across our centre, and this episode is offered from my own singular perspective on the topic. Anyone else might tell the same story very differently.
