This month our lesson is on Cultural Diversity. I am reading the book The Colors of Us and we are discussing individual differences. In the book, we find our that we are all a shade of brown and we all have the same feelings on the inside. Therefore, we must treat everyone the same and abide by the "Golden Rule"- Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
Character Words for February: Fairness and Honesty
Fairness-treat others with equanimity and impartiality
