Activity 1.4.3
Myself

Students help one another make life—size cutouts of themselves out of butch—
er paper. One child will lie down on the paper, and another will trace his or
her outline. The students talk to one another about their features and help
one another draw paper versions of themselves on the paper. They can mix
paint to make a shade similar to their skin color and see how people are all
just varieties of a few shades.

Activity 1.4.4

Family Poetry

Students create their own poetry about caring relationships and families
modeled after poems like this one

Our family comes
From many homes,
Our hair is straight,
Our hair is brown,
Our hair is curled,
Our eyes are blue,

Our skins are different
Colors, too.
We’re girls and boys,
We’re big and small,
We’re young and old,
We’re short and tall.
We’re everything
That we can be
