This could be a takeoff point for talking about sameness and difference. Yellow land was beautiful with its different shapes, but was it added to by the red and green or blue? Did it perhaps make it a bit more interesting? Children could be asked how they feel adding to a monochrome construction. Even though the world of yellow was beautiful, is the new world with additions of difference a bit more interesting? Or not? Would our classroom or world be as interesting without sameness and difference?

I would imagine there must have been an internal struggle about the metaphor of Yellowland, namely exclusion. In preschool classrooms, we all value inclusion and welcoming new people, thoughts, ideas and traditions. Yellowland seems like a social experiment of sorts. And the outcome was beautiful.<br />EileenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
