Loveliness in Diversity

What You Need:

• Lovely Poems worksheet
• Crayons
• Optional: Same, Same But Different by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw

What You Do:

1. Ask your child what the term "diversity" means to them, and share what it means to you. Emphasize the importance of recognizing the similarities shared by all humans while also appreciating our differences. (Same, Same But Different is a great book to read with your child when considering the meaning and importance of diversity.)
2. Ask, "How can we see the beauty and loveliness in diversity?"
3. Review the Lovely Poems worksheet and the sample poem with your child.
4. Ask them why it's important to see the beauty in differences. How does this affect relationships and communities?
5. Ask your child if they have any questions.
6. Give them time to complete their poem using the Lovely Poems worksheet as a guide. Provide assistance when needed.
