Learning About Diversity with Cultural Art Class

This week in cultural art class the students learned the word "Diversity".  We discussed the meaning of "diversity" as well as how it applies to the students and the world around them.  The students also discussed the presence of diversity and segregation in the past and present.
The students created self-portraits to reflect on their own identities and illustrated their own LEGO characters to convey how differences make us unique and special.  In the case of the LEGO characters, many children chose to portray recognizable characters to them, however it was discussed that even though all characters are different, they all work as a team as an excellent example of diversity.
