Product Description:

In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to foster inclusion and awareness in the classroom. The increase in diversity doesn’t only relate to race and ethnicity; it can include students of different religions, economic statuses, gender identities, and students with disabilities. Teachers can encourage acceptance and help students to thrive in our diverse world.

This product is designed to make comparisons of diversity in nature and how people can be very diverse. There is beauty in both. It is what makes us unique.

Included in this Product:

• 3 Informational Text passages on Diversity in Trees and Diversity in People.
• 3 corresponding comprehension activities including a Venn Diagram for a compare and contrast activity, a matching activity, and an art extension activity.
• A list of character traits to go along with the art project.
• A suggested book list for readings about trees.
• A suggested book list on the Diversity of People and all living things.

Do you want a graphic organizer specifically for science? KLEWS is it! KLEWS is a modified KWL that helps students when learning about science concepts!

K - What do you think you know?

L - What have you learned?

E - What evidence do you have?

W - What do you wonder about?

S - Science understanding and vocabulary words.

There are two levels in this resource; one for lower elementary and one for upper elementary.

Each set includes mini posters for displaying in the classroom, headers to be cut, and then placed above a chart that you would be doing on large chart paper with the class, and a worksheet for students to record information as they are learning.
