This week in the library, Kindergarten explored the theme of diversity. We learned about what the word ‘heritage’ means, and discussed how everyone has one. Our book, “We All Have a Heritage” by Sandy Kolman, artfully weaved the cultural aspects of language, clothing, music and other traditions with the singular message that learning about our differences enables us to better respect each other. We then decorated wooden puppet heads as self-portraits, and played the Responsive Classroom game, Common Ground. This activity allowed us to make some observations about our puppet heads, namely how we are alike and how we are different. The students concluded with book browsing and checkout.
Please remember to bring your library books back on library days. Happy Reading!
