It's Okay To Be Different

This week the kinder's read the book "It's Okay To Be Different".

We talked about how everyone is special, and our differences make us unique. The book has colourful illustrations and simple text that sends a strong message and teaches a valuable lesson.

We looked at a brown egg and a white egg and the kinder's were asked to think about how they were different or the same. The first thing noted was the color, and when asked if they were the same inside, many felt no way - the yolk would be different colours because the eggs came from different kinds of chickens, or one was cleaned, and the other was maybe dirty.

When we cracked them open, the insides were exactly the same and could not be told apart.
We talked about how people are like the eggs. We look different, and act different but inside we are all the same, and we all have feelings.

We talked about many different kids of differences, skin color, eye color, hair color, disabilities, different places we were born. - But we all came back to the egg lesson, where inside we are all the same - and it's okay to be different and like different things.


We made a classroom book , with each student having their own page where they had to finish the sentence " It's okay to ...."

We had many answers from singing in the shower, to talking different, and having a helper leg, among many others.

I am very proud of the class for the book they completed !
Ask your kinder what their page is about!
