Goal

The goal of this grant proposal is to provide Seacrest Country Day School's Preschool through Fifth Grade classrooms with an introductory book and a variety of multicultural art supplies in order for our school community to express "the colors of us." 

 

What will be done with my students

Ginger. Leaves in the fall. Coffee-toffee. Bronze and amber. All of these are lovely descriptors of the variety of skin tones in the wonderful book by Karen Katz entitled THE COLOR OF US. This book inspires readers to find their own unique color. Each grade level, Preschool through Fifth Grade, will be provided with a copy of Karen Katz's book as an introduction to understanding self-identity. Additionally, sets of multicultural art supplies: crayons, colored pencils, Magic Markers, and tempera paint be made available in each classroom for any and all projects in which self-identity is expressed.  

 

Benefits to my students

When children have a clear sense of self-identity, they are better able to connect with other people and groups and to interact with care, empathy, and respect. Seacrest Country Day School is committed to supporting each child as they develop a clear sense of self-identity. Through the use of Karen Katz's book and a variety of multicultural art supplies, the Seacrest Community will express "the colors of us."
