Creating Affirming Environments

I would create a Head Start classroom that is inclusive and represents all children.  The Head Start environment would have learning centers to help students with activities.  I would also include the following in the class.

I would have:
1. Books
2. Learning materials
3. Posters of diverse cultures
4. Appropriate toys

I would also have reading time and read a variety of books about diversity and different cultures.  I would expose children to different cultures using themes in the classroom.  My goal is to make the learning environment diverse and representative of the children and their families.
