Gonzalo has prejudice beliefs towards his own family. This is shown by his belief that "the older you are, the younger you get when you move to America." It is clear by this that he thinks that the older generation of immigrants are ignorant, and not smart. He continuously undermines his Tío Juan and believes that he cannot do things, just because he does not speak English and hasn't fully adapted to American culture.]]> 2022-09-21 19:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jal262/e98m0zvfcctjv99d/wish/2307484876 jal262 https://padlet.com/jal262/e98m0zvfcctjv99d/wish/2307485135 In seedfolks one character that demonstrated racism was Ana.

This is a theme that is present throughout the book and students will be able to learn this from reading the book.]]> 2022-09-21 19:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jal262/e98m0zvfcctjv99d/wish/2307485969 jal262 https://padlet.com/jal262/e98m0zvfcctjv99d/wish/2307486249 1. Classroom Community Garden 
After reading Seedfolks students will be inspired to partake in a community classroom. Seedfolks showed how simple things, like a garden, can bring people closer together. Taking care of a garden will make an elementary classroom a stronger community as students and educators will learn more about each other. Some students may bring in seeds that represent a plant from their culture, or their favorite plant, and so on. Learning these things about each other will be a gateway for them open up to each other and grow as a community. 
2. Journaling
The short passages in Seedfolks were first hand accounts about what the characters feeling, seeing and wondering. Adding journaling into the classroom routine would be easy and enjoyable activity for the children. Journaling will allow students to practice their literacy skills, and possibly support their social, emotional, and creative development. Seedfolks gives students a good example of how they can journal, but journaling can be done in their own unique way.
