Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and Oppression...

     I don't recall having any negative situations or incidents I had to step in. I do remember having a positive prejudice when I use to work as a director in the biggest facility.  I had a mom who was Caucasian and adopted a Japanese girl from Japan. She was two years old when she started the daycare. When I was short a teacher, I stepped in the class and during circle time, we talked about different race and color of the skin. Her exact words was, Ms. M. I am white like my mommy huh?? Followed with a big smile on her face. I agreed with her and smiled. Then the whole class went on talking about it is okay to be the color you are and it is mean to call each other names. 

     It is a great feeling when you are a teacher and you are teaching children about being positive. Children are a sponge, they pick up the negatives to the positives of comments and reaction of adults. 

     The more I was more in the classroom full of preschoolers I made sure multicultural was more in the curriculum and letting the children learning more about each other. For example, I had an activity for homework for the child and parent to do together. The activity was to make a family quilt, pictures of their family members and words to describe their family. When they got to school, the child would share with the class.
