We started class off with a movie called the children March. The movie was bout protest back when Martin Luther King was alive in Birmingham. All of the children on D day would leave school no matter the circumstances such as jumping out of windows, leave while the teachers were teaching and walking up town. They were protesting just so they can have freedom. All the children ever talked about were sitting on the little black stools in the restaurant. When the movie went off Dr. Stovall came in and processed to teach until his phone went off, he stated "I thought I turn that thing off" the class laughed. He passed around a picture of the man that was in the movie when he had come to our school. We began to talk about the article we read in the library over the weekend. What I retain from the article was different cultures, and different ways. Dr. Stovall always tell the class we should want more than a grade and if not we are being cheated. Such as when you pay for cold slaw and you don't get it in your bag you will raise sand, but you pay ten thousand dollars for school and you wish your teacher would not come. Before class was over Dr. Stovall told the class define two words for next class, those two words were Ethnocentrism and Culture relativity. Also bring your reflections papers to turn it.

The Cheerios necklaces

The object of the game is to learn to count to 10 (preschool) or 20 (Kindergarten).

The things you would for this project is a Book: The Cheerios Counting Book, construction paper squares numbered 1-10 or 1-20, cheerios, yarn and scissors

Read the book The Cheerios Counting Book. Discuss the numbers and count in the book the number of cheerios shown on each page. Discuss with the children how old they are and have them show you their age using their fingers. Have the number cards on the table one for each child in your class. Have the children sit down and then give each child a handful of cheerios. Have the children take their square and put the right amount of cheerios on it. Talk to the children about what each number is as they put the cheerios on. Let them eat the extra cheerios while you talk about the numbers. Give the children more cheerios. Use the yarn to make cheerios necklaces with the kids. Have them count their Cheerios as they put them on their necklace. If you are teaching preschoolers, use 10 as the number. If you are doing this with kindergartners, let them put 20 cheerios on their necklaces. You could also have Cheerios for snack that day, if you wish
