Week 4. Author: Ariana Santoalla A Kinder class is working on a group activity. They must create a banner for their classroom. The teacher brainstorms ideas with the class. The children begin to draw on their banner and decorate it. One boy starts to draw flowers on the banner. When the other boys see this, they begin to tease him and laugh at him. The boy explains that flowers remind him of his father and of his family and that this makes him happy. The teacher talks to the class and explains that everybody is unique and that different people may have different likes and dislikes. 2017 by U.S.Agency for International Development (USAID) Produced for the Department of Education under the USAID Basa Pilipinas Activity Basa Pilipinas is USAID/Philippines’ flagship basic education activity in support of the Philippine Government’s early grade reading program.
