The whole class, including the teacher, will be bringing to class their own healthy food which their families love to share at their dining tables. They can bring their food which originates from their own country. Everyone is open to sharing and talking about the food they brought.

Some guide questions would be: How do you eat as a family? What food do you love to eat? ]]> 2022-08-08 02:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256348446 Reading: Non-Fiction Text about Diversity mtiago1 https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256348807 Students will come away with the message: "You should always be kind to those who are different from you. Because to them, YOU are different too."

As more children read this book and learn this concept, we can impact the world in a positive way while at the same time teaching early literacy. This non-fiction book closes with a short survey for children about kindness and is a terrific way to help you start an age-appropriate conversation about diversity.

They love drawing. They are to picture themselves using the shapes and colors they like most and share with the class their output after. 

This promotes a healthy self-concept and exploration of identity. Through this activity, the teacher and the listeners will have the chance to know and understand more the speaker. ]]> 2022-08-08 02:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256349526 Physical Education: Traditional African Game mtiago1 https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256349913 This game can be learned by Kindergarten students. This clapping, jumping, and moving game starts with one person designated as the leader jumping forward and then sticking a leg out. The aim of the game is to rack up 10 points by touching your legs with your opponent. Everyone gets the chance to be the leader, and this game can be either played in groups of two people or in a semi-circle.]]> 2022-08-08 02:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256349913 Arts: Leaf Mosaic mtiago1 https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256350126 This can be done during Fall Season. The fallen dried leaves with different colors will be used to cover the picture of the Bahay-Kubo as a mosaic. The students will also learn that the Bahay-Kubo is the national house of the Philippines.]]> 2022-08-08 02:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256350126 Music: Action Song mtiago1 https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256350494 Students will be learning action songs about their body parts both in English and Spanish languages.  This would help the Spanish language speakers follow the activity and a chance for the others to learn another language too at the same time.

They will surely enjoy this song since it makes them more active and engaged in a whole class activity.]]> 2022-08-08 02:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256350494 Phonics: Letter Name and Letter Sound of Mm mtiago1 https://padlet.com/mtiago1/kindergartenmulticulturalresources/wish/2256350781 This lesson will mirror the identities and experiences of the students when they name words that begin with the letter Mm based on their real-life experiences.

The teacher may introduce different languages that some people around the world use that begin with the letter M. Some examples would be Mandarin, Malaysian, Marathi, Magahi, and so on. This would help the students master the lesson, especially the letter sound M.
