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!

They need to have confidence on their own work even if someone is copying them it’s their own individual work. Great job overall!! ]]> 2021-10-14 02:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815746547 As a future educator I would use this at the beginning of the year to help everyone feel welcome and remind everyone to be sensitive to each other's feelings https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815746829 2021-10-14 02:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815746829 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815747073 That was really good!

This weeks readings on ableism really opened my eyes to how I will be teaching about disability. I would start with understanding every student by acknowledging their culture and abilities and incorporating them into lessons. ]]> 2021-10-14 02:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815748792 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. https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815749509 2021-10-14 02:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815749509 I would use these books and have a conversation about being sensitive to other's feelings.

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]]> 2021-10-14 02:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815751991 A book discussion would be great after reading these.

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. ]]> 2021-10-14 02:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1815754676 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825514415 2021-10-18 23:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825514415 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825514783 2021-10-18 23:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825514783 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825517855 2021-10-18 23:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825517855 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825519610 2021-10-18 23:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825519610 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825520953 2021-10-18 23:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825520953 meramcar2 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825521864 2021-10-18 23:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1825521864 I really enjoyed the books you had!!

I loved it! ❤️]]> 2021-10-21 02:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832254533 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. https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832255677 2021-10-21 02:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832255677 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832255788 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.

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.

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.

This topic isn't touched on a lot so its important to encourage how children feel and discover what they want to be.

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. https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832264806 2021-10-21 02:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1832264806 Thank you for giving us a book to reference as future teachers!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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 have a name that is difficult to pronounce, and I honestly stopped trying to correct people in elementary school, so I feel like the second book hit close to home.

Make equal society is important but a lot of people made mistake even from the school. Marriage in different races is bigger thing to think about too. However, it was awesome presentation about history of racial inequality of the family in school and thank you for your hard work.

The color of your skin should not dictate the injustice that one should experience. We are all born differently and unique, which is what makes this world so beautiful. Both of the books are based on true stories from our history, which make it more impactful as well.

Thank you for adding the target audience, that's always helpful. I cannot wait to add these books to my future class library. I think we all can agree that Separate is Never Equal is a book that is worthy of being on our bookshelves. ]]> 2021-12-09 03:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1937354587 https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1937356417 Hello, I enjoyed your book selection and thought they were both very relatable to our class course learning objectives. For example, " to recognize and evaluate how one’s cultural history affects one’s sense of self and relationship to others." I believe these books share historical backgrounds that help students understand themselves and their peers based on how classrooms/ laws were originally built and changed through people's objections, courage, and persistence.

I remember learning about "separate, but equal" in U.S. History, but I always questioned this idea. This book definitely creates a conversation to be had as well as another perspective to look at. I will be sure to include this book in my classroom library (:]]> 2021-12-09 03:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meramcar2/vv7cy15jrbrygr7f/wish/1937356631
