Abstract
Elementary school curriculum often lacks content on diversity in the classroom. Children who are not taught about diversity can develop limited understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds. The lack of diversity in education may have negative effects including children feeling unwelcome and unrepresented in the curriculum. Introducing children to diversity in the curriculum can promote inclusivity and compassion towards each other. In order to address the lack of diversity in the curriculum, I created a three-day lesson for third graders at Jesse G. Sanchez Elementary School in Salinas, California.
