We are starting our final unit of cultures this week: Cowboys!
Yee haw!
When I first started at my school, I was so excited to work with a curriculum that focused on multiculturalism. Our director wrote a book with some others on this subject.

She then told me about the problems she had with the publisher about the last unit in the book: cowboys. They didn't really consider that a culture. To which she responded, "Excuse me! Cowboy IS a culture. It's MY culture!"
I love that story, and with my being from Texas, I can totally relate.
We are starting with Texas flags this week. I love the simplicity of the Texas flag. This will be a good chance to teach the kids colors: red and blue. And also: top, bottom and middle. Today we'll make 'em out of construction paper. Tomorrow, we'll paint 'em.
Remember this?

Texas, our Texas, so wonderful so great!
