ABSTRACT: The activities depicted and the information
provided in this book reflect the program for cultural
awareness at The Learning Tree, a preschool located in
Dallas, Texas. The material is presented in the hope that
it will serve to increase children's acceptance of
diversity and pluralism in American society. Six cultures
are represented: Asian, black, cowboy, Eskimo, Mexican, and
Native American. Guides for activities related to family
living, creative art expression, nature and science,
language development, music and dance, games and
manipulative play, and special events such as festivals and
holidays are provided for each of the cultures. A selected
bibliography of records, films, and books for children and
adults accompanies the material for each culture. A final
bibliography of multi-cultural resources is also provided.
Many drawings and photographs accompany the descriptions of
activities. (Author/RH)
