RCCP—Lesson 2, Extension Favorite Color Graph Submitted/Created by: Kelley Carpenter, Kindergarten

Resources: Connected & Respected, p.9, 10

Standard(s): 1A //Student demonstrates awareness of his/her emotions.// 3C //Student demonstrates an awareness of cultural issues and a respect for human dignity and differences.// Materials: Butcher paper to create graph, small squares of paper for students to record their favorite on. Time: 20 minutes Goals: Students will… -identify how they feel about certain “favorites” explored by the group -notice in a concrete way how friends in their class are the same or different Describe Lesson Steps/Leading Statements: Follow notes on p.9 in RCCP manual. I used a color graph, but several suggestions are given to give concrete examples of similarities and differences. After completing the graph, review which aspects of the graph had the most similarities or differences. Discuss what those differences could mean for our class family, if anything. Allow students to create comments that illuminate how the different ways that each thinks will not stop them from being friends. Assessment(s):
 * “There are many things about us as a class family that are the same, and many things that are different. Today we will be looking at a couple of those things.”**
 * “When I look at this graph, I notice that many of us like the color blue. I also notice that only two people chose the color yellow, and only one person chose the color red. Do you think that the color they choose, even if it was different, will stop those students from being friends?”**
