So I was subbing in the kindergarten class and of course because all kids love to draw, we were all coloring together. Then the UPS guy came into the classroom to have me sign for a package. This particular UPS guy probably delivers packages a few times a week, so I've gotten to know him a little and he is really nice and friendly!
When he walked into the classroom, one of the african american kindergardeners looked at him and said in the happiest voice, "WOW! your black!!!"
He laughed and said, " Ya and your brown!!!!"
Then one of the little cambodian boys stood up excitedly and said, "I'm brown too!!!!!!"
And a little white girl stood up and said, "and i'm white!!!!"
So the UPS guy pulls up a chair, sits down at the table, and grabs the box of crayons. He holds up a blue crayon and ask what color it was. Then he holds up a red one. and then a purple and a yellow. The kids happily shout out each color. Then he says, "See how many different color crayons there are!!! But even though they are all different colors, they are still crayons!! It is the same with people. Some are brown, some are white, and some are black, but they are all people!" The kids all smiled and shook their heads in agreement!
Everything the UPS guy said was so true! and I loved how he made it so relatable to the kids!!! It was an awesome moment! One that i will remember forever.
