Leo, Soren and Isabella have had the opportunity to share their family culture to the class. This presentation comes in many different forms. Children are asked to share about their home life in order to begin conversations about the similarities and differences within our community. Students love finding out that they have been to the same places, celebrate the different ways, or wonder at the possibility of responsibility. As Leo put it, "because we are old enough to pick up our own toys! (we have to clean our room)"
Soren and Leo brought in pictures and asked the class to really try and figure out the differences between them. The class worked hard to create a Venn Diagram of the twins similarities and differences. My favorite similarity between the Westrey twins was, "they both love!".Isabella gave Mrs. Kurkinen the highest of compliments when she perfectly mimicked her teacher by saying, "I won't call on you unless you are sitting criss-cross with your hand quietly raised".
