In honor of Black History Month, we're making a conscious effort to embrace and celebrate our diversity. First graders watched this video of Shane DeRolf's poem, "The Crayon Box That Talked":
THE CRAYON BOX THAT TALKED from tim webb on Vimeo.
Then, we discussed what makes each person unique and how although each of us is different, we're all created equal. How ridiculous to treat someone differently because the color of their skin, where they're from or what they wear! This world would be a boring place if we all looked exactly the same.
To celebrate our differences, each student created their self portrait on a paper crayon. Next, we put them together to unify our artwork. By working together and accepting everyone, our artwork is complete!
