● By reading the book and having students work on the activities.
This will help our students learn about the different cultures in
the classroom and forming a positive friendly environment in
the classroom.. Students can demonstrate respect when
learning about different cultures. As well as feeling prideful of
where they come from.
● By learning about the different cultures in the classroom,
students can gain a positive perspective about cultures. It’s
important for students to learn about their own identity and
others as well. This can help them understand that we might all
be different but we should be treated the same way.
