The story of two children, Raji and Peley, who were both physically and culturally different from the predominately white suburban school district they were in. It also accounts their teacher, Ms. Starr, who watched helplessly as Peley and Raji became isolated from their kindergarten class.

Chapter 7- Illustrator Illuminator
When looking at this image, I cannot think of a better idea than something Mrs. Starr could have done. This is just one illustration of the many suggested by Patricia Schmidt. Have the children sit in groups and discuss on a globe where India, Cambodia and Vietnam are and who they are in our world.

I really like this image. The people around the table are a diverse group and the globe in the center really sends the message home. Thinking of the world as the place where we live ...if we can introduce that to children early on, it would help inclusion.
ReplyDeleteGood job, very appropriate image.
