Diversity in the Classroom

     Diversity is very common in today's classrooms. I think one of the biggest examples of this I have seen is how the Kindergarten teacher I observed taught writing. She not only had them write down the words, but had them draw a picture to go with their story. Everyone learns differently. Letting the children interpret the story and draw their own picture encourages them to be different and interpret the story however they please.

     Another way I have seen diversity is in the books that the teachers read. In our Intro to Education lesson it talked about reading books that involved many different cultures, ethnicity, and races of people. I noticed how the teacher had all sorts of different books that had diversity in them. Through this the kids are able to not only learn more about their culture, but also about other student's cultures that they may experience in their class. 

Diversity is an important factor in classrooms!
