We are human. We all make mistakes and we all judge each other, but as we grow we learn too. We are peacemakers. We are continually teaching our kiddos to be accepting, open-minded and unafraid of differences. This is hard, but we can do hard things and we are reminded that 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕟 𝕃𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕂𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕁𝕣. made the ultimate sacrifice in his advocacy. I wish this day were celebrated year-round, instead of a one-day remembrance. These are goals we strive for in 2024!

This book is incredibly simple, yet opens up conversation for so much learning, open-mindedness and awareness. I read this to my 9, 6 and 4 year old initially. We spent a lot of time pointing out the differences between appearances, living situations and cultures. We then talked a lot about students in their own classrooms and how we are alike/different than others. We talked about how sometimes not knowing information about something can be uncomfortable, but we are familiar with uncomfortable and know that we tackle it head-on. And, so we discussed plainly asking someone about a difference if you are curious about it and also answering others' questions toward us if they need clarification.

I love helping them understand that all are welcome in this world. ❤️ Links below for the components of the sensory table!
