Diversity Corner

 Diversity Corner

In our kindergarten classroom to display diversity, equity and inclusiveness the teaching team came up with the diversity corner that changes based on the cultural relevance of the students. At the beginning of the year, we were learning about self-autonomy. 

We read the story "The Name Jar" by Yangsook Choi. Each child then went home and spoke to parents about what their names meant and put them in a jar. Each week one two students would pick from the jar one name and we would explore what that students name means and display it on the wall. 

The children enjoyed it, made them feel special and were so excited to explain how their name described who they were.
