Diversity

The students that I teach are pretty diverse. In just about every class I probably have at least 3 or 4 ESL kids. When most kids from another country get to draw, they often draw the flag from their country. One of my first grade students was drawing a Polish flag. I sat down with him and asked him about the flag and how long he lived in Poland. When I asked him, "What are your favorite Polish foods?" his answer was not pierogies or kielbasi as I would have expected. His answer was "Polish soup and carrots".
