| Exposing Students to 3 Different Cultures |

|
2. Content-
|
| Being in our 5th grade classroom for a few weeks, we have been observing
the way students interact with one another and to us. We can infer
that they do not know many other cultures outside of their African
American community. Comments such as "Are you all sisters?"�, "Why
don't they wear that on their head like you?", and mocking someone's
language saying "I like speaking her Chinese language" (even though
the adult was Korean) , has led us to believe that they are not used
to other types of people out there. Because of this, we want to expose
them of different cultures and give them knowledge on how things are
and eliminating any stereotypes they may have. |
