We live in the age of Globalization and so diversity is a way of life. We experience diversity in all aspects of life, from classrooms to social gatherings to places to eat etc. It is important for us to embrace the diversity in our classrooms. It is an opportunity to learn about our kids backgrounds, culture, traditions etc. it will equip us to better relate to the kids in our class. We need to teach children about how we are all unique and that its OK to be different. I try to play music from around the world in our classroom. We eat lunch together and we talk about the different types of food we eat and how we all like different things because we are unique and special. Kids learn to accept themselves and their friends for who they are.
