My culture is actually two. I am half Mexican and white. We have many family traditions we do every year. We make tamales, Mexican wedding cake cookie and we make pozole which a soup made during Christmas time.

I invite children to sing a song while washing their hands. I also acknowledge when children wash their hands without being remind. I also thank children when they clean up after other when they go the extra mile.

I would encourage role playing with the children and offer different types of jobs and their roles within society so children could learn different ways of establishing themselves at a young age. This would be for more of a preschool/school age setting.

I would do an activity that explores how shapes are different and base most of the time finding shapes that are similar and encourage both children to display what they have found. I would encourage them to both show how each is different.

I am constantly wanting to know how many kids I have when I am outside with them. I am wanting to learn how to deal with special personalities better. I find I…
