Four pages after the cover. Page 1 is a short reading, Different and Together, with 3 questions to answer in complete sentences. Page 2 has three partner discussion questions with writing space.

Can I use the Celebrating Our Differences Discussion Pack at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade Social-Emotional learning, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade diversity resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are diversity resources for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these diversity resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
