Welcome back students and families. I hope you had an enjoyable break. For the next few weeks we will be discussing the topic of diversity. This week's story is called Whoever You Are by Mem Fox. The story talks about how we are all different on the outside but we are the same on the inside. It points out that people all over the world live in different homes, work different jobs, and talk differently but again we are all the same on the inside and we all have things in common. One way you can reinforce this week's lesson is to point out differences between your own family members and people that you know and emphasize that these differences are what make us interesting and fun. It is also important that your child know that everyone should be treated with respect regardless of our differences. When we use our Magic Triad we are showing respect.
