Each of us are unique or different from one another in some ways. We also are all alike in many ways. Valuing our differences and respecting them helps us get along with others and learn new things.The younger grades listened to a book about people's differences and similarities, and talked about why differences are important. They then did an activity with classmates where they discovered some things they had in common with each other, and some things that were different. The older grades also talked about differences and similarities, and what feelings they had when they felt different than the people around them. We talked about how sometimes people automatically equate different with "bad" or "weird" when in reality, it is likely just different. We talked about the importance of being able to agree to disagree with others, and treat each other with respect no matter what our differences are. Comments are closed.
