Love Your Passengers

If someone asks you, "Who are you?" What would you say?

• Do you feel your cultural identity is respected in the school community?

As a family, complete following activity with your child to explore your identity further.

• Mandala (Grades 4 and 5)
• Identity map (K - Grade 3)

You can download these resources below. Please note that younger children will need help to complete this activity.

Identity is what makes each of us unique!

It includes things like our names, the color of our skin, and where we’re from. Identity also includes what’s important to us, like being kind or fair, and special family traditions or cultural backgrounds.

The people around us, like our family and friends, and the experiences we have as we grow up also help shape who we are.

Reflect: Discuss these questions as a family:

• In the last 3 months how have you actively learned about other cultures and identities?

Action:

• As a family, research three holidays that are different to your own.
• Find three books in the library that are windows to another identity/culture different than your own and read as a family.
