Article- Diversity in the Classroom By: Barbara Biles, M.Ed.
This article is a good read it is broken up into different sections. The article is not long and very easy to read. It starts out with activities that promote racial and cultural awareness. Then it talks about when it starts and it touches on the preschool years, kindergarten, and the early primary years of age 7 and 8. Then the last thing is the different activities that you can do for the different age groups.

Thank you for your resources on diversity. I live in rural northern Michigan where there is almost no diversity. Your resources have given me ideas on how to create a more diverse classroom with items, music, and pictures.
