October Word of the Month (Diversity)

October is Diversity Awareness month.  The October word of the month is diversity.  We are defining diversity as the quality of being made of many different elements, forms, kinds, or individuals.  We are focusing on cultural diversity however students will explore other aspects of the enviornment that could be classified as diverse.  For example, our Woodbrook garden is made up of different kinds of plant forms that grow cohesively.  Students will be able to make scientific observations in learning enviornments such as this.  The displayed graphic organizer will be posted on classroom word walls.  A selected student may draw a picture to further enhance their knowledge.

All art students created a monochromatic self-portrait. We discussed Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo's self-portraits. She would add images of things she liked into her self-portrait. These will be hung on the bulletin board in a rainbow pattern.
