I loved the Chrysanthemum story and the explanation about buying and being respectful of any differences we may have even if it's as simple as a name

I would love to share the last book with my class, It does a great job to educate students about other students with disabilities.

I actually read Chrysanthemum as a child and I loved the book! Like the group had mentioned, it gave me more confidence because I have a unique last name (Kil). I was insecure about it but this book made me feel accepted. I loved the book choices and you all did an awesome job!

Great job you guys! I will definitely be including these in my own classroom. I wonder if there are any activities we can include into our curriculum. I would try to read these books to the children early on into the school year, combining them with other books that follow the same theme.

I liked the running theme of encouraging children to be themselves and love others for their differences as much as what makes them similar. These books could be used in the classroom to promote children treating one another with respect and kindness. And showing the importance how how we choose to use our words; words carry an big impact, kind or hurtful

A book discussion would be great after reading these. I would challenge the students to share some ideas to include others.

I would love to implement the book about children with disabilities in my future classroom. This subject was always ignored in my k-12 classrooms and as a sibling to someone who has faced ableism, I will not be continuing that pattern. Very powerful books overall that I strongly believe would help create a safe environment for our students.

I would recommend that future/present educators use these books as starter pieces for the academic year to create a clear understanding among the students that they are there for them. I came out involuntary to my parents and it affected the confidence I had with my sexuality. My teachers never made it clear that they were allies or would be supportive of who I was, which made me feel very lost as a child. These books made me hopeful that our future classrooms will create an environment that many others like me desperately needed.

This presentation relates to our course objectives because it helps students to appreciate the complexity of each individual, in this case, gender identity and expression. I loved the two books that you all have shared and I can't wait to have these in my future classroom.

Great presentation! These books are good to read to children about the importance of embracing who they are and how they want to be addressed, especially in a time where identity is a big and important topic. We should encourage children to embrace how they feel and who they want to be! Thank you group 2 for sharing these books with us!

This presentation connected to the 4 I's
ideological in the sense of how society views gender to be predetermined and specific to certain traits and interests; and the many ways it perpetuates this. It also connected to interpersonal because it talked about how individuals see themselves in relation to the world around them. It discussed the importance of being comfortable, proud, and in equilibrium with who one see themselves to be; inside and outward expression

Having these books in my future classroom library and even getting to read it during story time will show students the importance of everyone being different and accepting one another. This topic isn't touched on a lot so its important to encourage how children feel and discover what they want to be.

The book with the blue/red crayon was very powerful. I always thought it was a difficult topic to disgust with my students. I would combine this book with similar reads. Since this book is light-hearted I might want a book that extends the message.

I think that the books would be a really good classroom book because they can give an insight and make it a bit easier to speak about skin color

It related really well with this week's theme because it spoke about appearance and judgement. I think this is an important issue that is still prevalent today, but I am glad it is slowly changing with more representation in the media, toys our children have, and even with the future ethnic studies courses coming to HS

I will never forget the first time I realized people made fun of my skin color. Someone said that my skin color was the color of poop, someone said they wouldn’t date me because I was too dark. I even had family members who said I wasn’t as pretty as my cousins because the had way lighter skin than me. There was never books that my teacher would read to show me how much i should love and appreciate my skin color, so i can’t wait to add these books into my future classroom

This presentation talks about the oppression that Black people endure just from the color of their skin. I loved the books that the team had recommended for our future classroom because it depicts the equality that we are striving for as a society in terms that children will understand and it is perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching students about the color of your skin is important specially at a young age because thats when students are more curious and think "why don't I look like them?". Diversity is brought into the classroom where students can learn about each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the books would be great additions to a classroom to help children understand why we are different skin colors.

# data[].attributes.body
These books are really good to add into my library because it address skin color and how everyone has a different color skin and that's one part of making us wonderfully unique. Especially in today's society, children are pointing out the differences in skin color between others and I think these books are a useful tool to addressing that and making it known that it is a normal thing to see.

# data[].attributes.body
I think these books do a great job talking about colorism and racism which connects to the course material.

I would recommend these books be used to empower and teach students about how powerful our skin color is. They would also require students to recognize that we are, in fact, different and that our difference is meaningful. It is an aspect of us that is beautiful and should be treated as such. - Valerie Miranda

This weeks presentation related to the learning goal: to understand that because we live in an inter-connected world, we need to understand the diversity and relationships within and among cultures. This was seen in the ways the books acknowledge different skin colors, why they are different, how those differences impact individuals, and embracing all the wonderful ways those differences build people's identities and relate to their cultures.

Loved the books. I will be adding these to the list of books that I intend to use in my classroom. They would be a perfect addition to some activities I already have in mind. Depending on the age group I would love to have the children draw an image of themselves using different skin toned paper. I would also love them to include fun personal comments about their identity. -Saraid Troli

I loved the books this group chose, especially the first one about the boy and his pet elephant. It really related to our race and racialization topic and as a future educator it would be important to me to have it in my classroom.- rachael koval

# data[].attributes.body
I would recommend these books be used to teach children about racial prejudice and biases that tend to be ignored or encouraged at home. These books can help children understand topics that are normally very difficult to adequately explain and put them in to terms that the children can easily digest. It also is a great way to start a meaningful discussion that young students tend to miss out on. I really loved their presentation and all the examples of activities they included! Wonderful job!

I really liked that this group included each of their favorite books because I definitely would like to check some out! I think these books would be great in the classroom too. One thing that stood out to me that I would incorporate in my classroom is the story "Antiracist Baby". Also, I would teach the idea of a self-portrait as well! It is important that we teach students about self-identity.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that these books are important to read to young students as it will remind all students to love their differences and to include everyone in any activity to build a positive environment among them.

I can’t wait to share these books in my classroom. I want to work with kiddos and I think many people believe that littles are very sweet, and although they are we seem to forget that children are sponges. They absorb all information, even things that they shouldn’t. Bulling is something they aren’t born with, being racist is not something they were born with. We have to remind each other that it is taught and therefore these books are a great to share!

What an awesome group presentation! I loved how each one of you guys had your individual input on the analysis of the books. I agree that the first book should be read sometime during the beginning of the school year to engage the classroom in accepting new students of different backgrounds and who speak different languages. I believe that all three of the books that were shared will create a positive and safe environment for students and that really is the goal for us as future educators.

I would recommend these books for future classroom use because they include a second language other than English which could be meaningful for students.

What I loved about this week's presentation is that all three books that were shared were autobiographical. I believe that this offers a more personal touch to the storyline and helps the reader (big or small) feel understood and seen because it is based on the author's story. I would incorporate these books in my future classroom because it is important that students feel empowered by their own culture and for others who are not familiar with different backgrounds, to be respectful and aware.

In "Separate is Never Equal" the speaker discussed segregation and inequality. These are examples of  "Institutional Oppression -The idea that one group is better than another group and has the right to control the other gets embedded in the institutions of the society–the laws, the legal system and police practice, the education system and schools, hiring policies, public policies, housing development, media images, political power, etc."   https://curatingtheclassroom.org/2017/05/15/the-four-is-of-oppression/
