Good afternoon,

Energy has been high this week due to Halloween. The chaos was absolutely delightful to be a part of. It took me down memory lane of when I was in elementary school.

My observations is where my inquiry question has stemmed from.

In the afternoon the class was invited to attend a haunted house the grade seven class has created. As we walked towards the haunted house one of the students stopped and sat on chair in the hallway. I was very confused as to why he stopped. Another classmate questioned his action as well. The boy kept saying “take a guess why?” The other student said “you got into trouble, you were misbehaving…”Even I ran out of ideas. When we got back to the class I had asked my SA as to why the student did not participate. I was then told the student is a jehovah witness, thus, the student does not participate in anything. In the transition to the next activity another student asked “Hey! where were you” some answered “don’t you know he doesn’t celebrate anything.” Looking at that particular incident I was bothered in some sense. I did not know how to react to that. That student did not participate in any activity that had a halloween theme.

Thus, my inquiry question is associated to cultural impacts on the student and student’s perspectives. I have not narrowed it down to the precise question, but I would like to look into this topic.
