The crayons are shown by a child, their full potential and the possibilities that they have. The book also explores how colors are all better as a group than isolated.
Each student chose their favorite crayon color, and they glued it to a canvas. We then melted, or "melded" the crayons together to make some artwork. The quote listed above will be added to the canvas.
We read "Elmer" the story about an elephant who is sad because he looks different than other elephants, and of course we would be remiss living in Triad without discussing our local connections to the Civil Rights Movement including a discussion about Ron McNair and the Woolworth sit-in. However, on the primary level we don't go into great detail about discrimination and racism, rather we try to build on the foundation of acceptance and and kindness.
I hope that everyone has a fun and safe weekend, and remember, we do not have school this Monday 1/16.
