MULTICULTRAL AND ANTI-BIASRESOURCES
[Document subtitle]
In preparing for a classroom, I have looked at a preschool classroom, ages ranging from 3-5. This is such a fun age, as their personalities are just starting to come out. It is a time of building a sense of self, and building relationships with those around them. “Strong attachments to family, friends, and whatever groups and combinations of groups they belong to enable children to feel a sense of belonging to the society as a whole,” Ramsey 2015.

1. Imagine me in a Sit Ski: by George Moran. Billy is a little boy with cerebral palsy, and uses a communication board, goes on a class field trip and learns to ski in a modified sled.
