202 Words1 Page

Thomas (2009) provides a perfect example of diversity in the early childhood environment. Thomas (2009) introduced a large felt world map to the preschool classroom. The activity included felt animals and people from around the world. The children were discovering the type of relationships between animals and humans. Thomas (2009) intended for the children to explore the differences between land and sea animals. However the children had a different interpretation, as a group, they decided to place the felt people onto the country in which they believed they were born. Not wanting to interrupt the children’s engagement with this activity, Thomas (2009) observed that the children’s interests changed from animals to people and places of origin.
