This is diverse because it shows people from another country and their way of life.]]> 2022-12-04 16:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408102830 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408104506 This read aloud can be read aloud can be read at the beginning of the unit to introduce what scientists do. It is a diverse resource because the characters in the book are of all different skin colors. ]]> 2022-12-04 16:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408104506 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408105627 When introducing the engineering project, this could be read aloud in order for learners to understand what it means to engineer a device, in order to solve a problem. This is a diverse book because it shows the main character, a girl, as an engineer. The STEM field is traditionally male-heavy, so this shows girls that they, too, can be in that field. ]]> 2022-12-04 16:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408105627 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408110313 This book is an on-level text. Learners can read this book to learn about the contributions of Charles Henry Turner to the study of our ecosystem. Learners can then turn and talk about the different pollinators they saw in the book. ]]> 2022-12-04 16:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408110313 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408118164 To end the unit, we could add an art piece from a Guatemalan artist, Sofia Novella. We could learn about her art and culture and paint our own plant, and label the parts afterward. This adds diversity to the lesson because student would be learning about an artist from another country.]]> 2022-12-04 16:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408118164 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408120880 To celebrate the learning that we've been doing about pollinators and the ecosystem, we could have a treat created by one of our favorite pollinators, the bee. Halvah is a hone-sesame candy and is brining diversity to the classroom because it is cuisine from the Middle East.]]> 2022-12-04 16:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408120880 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408129787 This is a Chinese-Folktale about planting. This is diverse because it shows a story from China. This also plays on the standard that second grade learners should be able to retell fairy tales, fables and folk tales.]]> 2022-12-04 16:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408129787 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408138641 We could read the poem In and Out of Time by Maya Angelou. This is bringing diversity to our STEM lessons because Angelou is a renowned African American poet.]]> 2022-12-04 17:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408138641 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408140287 I could add this link to pollinators in Hawaii so learners can learn about tropical plants that we wouldn't see as often in Orange County. This is bringing diversity to the classroom because although Hawaii is in the US, it's an island that many learners have not visited yet, so they don't know about the culture or plants in the state.]]> 2022-12-04 17:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408140287 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408142716 What happens when there are not pollinators? In cold Greenland, animals have a hard time surviving. And oddly enough, bees are not common. So how are these flowers able to bloom? Students can work with a partner to compare pollinators in the US to Greenland. This is brining diversity to the classroom because Greenland is another country. It also has a very different climate to California. So this article would be a window to another area in the world. ]]> 2022-12-04 17:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408142716 hilarymcgilton https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408143043 2022-12-04 17:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hilarymcgilton/4bt6wzoo4eat6zw4/wish/2408143043
