Acceptance
Kindergarten Lesson
Definition: ACCEPTANCE means respecting the differences among people. Because people are different in so many ways, it is important to be accepting of others.
Lesson Review the meaning of ACCEPTANCE. Invite 2-3 students to describe themselves. Lead a discussion on how each child is different from the other. Create a class list of differences between students. Examples could include: different eye color, hair, skin tone, height, weight, gender, etc. Explain that classmates, neighbors and friends are alike in many ways; but they are also different in many ways. Ask students to repeat this sentence after you. Even though we are different in many ways, we can all be friends.
School/Home Link Tell students to ask a family member to describe ways that their family members are different from each other.
