Diversity

Welcome 2009!
Towards the middle of the month and continuing into February, I will be entering 2nd grade classrooms. I will be conducting classroom lessons on diversity and friendship. This assists our students in learning the curriculum standard: Students will aquire knowledge, attitudes, and interpersonal skills to help them understand and respect self and others. We will be discussing the various differences among people that make us all special and unique.
