Week 7: Start Seeing Diversity - Creating Art
On my journey to promoting anti-bias behavior I
wrote a poem that accepts the visible and invisible uniqueness found in
children and their families. Children can recite, sing and clap along. It is
essential for Early childhood professionals to celebrate the different
identities, abilities, and characteristics that are found in everyone.
Hello…
Hallo…..Hola….Aloha…..Salut....
We
are little…We are big
We
are dark…We are bright
We
are tall….We are short
We
are silent…We are talkative
We
eat chicken…We eat worms…We eat rice…We eat mice…
Crawling….Walking….Rolling….Skipping…
Learning
….Playing …Working ….Growing…
Together
we stand as a
blended family….
A blended family….A blended family
Happily Ever After…. we are free…
As long as we celebrate…you, me and my dog Hairee!
Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great song for children! Children are sure to like that the words are simple and that the styles repeat. I like that the song introduces diversity at a level children understand and encourage them to celebrate the differences. I also think the pictures you collected are good on the walls of the classroom.

Hi Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your song; this song is sure to capture the attention of young children. The most important thing it teaches children about diversity. Children need to see pictures to celebrate each other differences. Great Job!!
Hi Tiffiney,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem. I like the way you incorporated the various way to say hello and make people able to fit in any of the catergories that they fall into. This poem touched some aspect of everyone's life.

Hi Tiffiney
ReplyDeleteI love the diversity of your pictures and course how you included the different ways to say hello. Of course, I think it was very unique on how you talked about the different things that we at. Great creativity in your poem, I really enjoyed it and can actually see it in a book!
Good Job!
