Understanding Gender
Children age 3-5
Objectives:
1. The children will identify that gender does not identify the abilities of a person.
2. The children will identify that men and women can accomplish the same goals.
3. The children will identify that both gender can play with the same toys.
Materials Needed: Poster board, Books, Glue, Table Cover, Markers, Paper, Scissors, Dresses and Toys in Dramatic play.
Procedure:
I will start by calling the children to the circle time by singing a song “The more we get to gather”. Next I will give them option to choose which book they want to read. Then when I will show them the cover of the book, I will ask them what you think the book about. Also I will ask …show more content…
Why boys and girls can achieve the same goals?
4. How are boys and girl different /same?
Clean-up: I will include the children in the cleanup process by singing the cleanup song. This is a good song because it’s informing the children that it is important that everyone comes together because at the end they can get things done faster. It is also a good song to sing because it is very anti-bias in the way where it includes everyone and not a specific gender.
Evaluation: I will know that children have successfully met the objectives when we hear them talk to each other, or talking while playing, or while doing other activities, saying things such as “firefighter” instead of “firemen”. Or, when I see the children using all of the clothes and props in the dramatic play area no matter the gender, and treat each other with respect and not judge each other based on their gender.
Resources: I searched for song based on gender for the children on youtube.com. I used our book “Anti-Bias Education” for our children and ourselves, by Louise Derman-Sparks and Julie Olsen-Edwaeds. I used the websites “gernderspectrum.org and todaysparents.com”, and the article “parental influence on children’s Socialization” to “Gender Roles” by Susan D. Witt to give as a resource for parents. The children’s books I used are “Being Me” by Julie Broski, “Great Things to be” by Michael T. Smith, “I am a Dentist” by Dianne Frasier, and “When You Grow Up” by Lennie …show more content…
There have been many cases where children are made fun of because of their gender. Therefore, as a teacher, I prefer to speak in ways which are anti-bias and world appreciate any help can get from you, the parent/guardian. Here are some resources you can look into to learn more about the subject and ways to communicate and collaborate with your children:

“Parental Influence on Children’s Socialization to Gender Roles”, by Susan D. Witt. I would also like to inform you about this upcoming Thursday we will having our first career day in which you the parents may participate. Please allow your child to dress up as what he/she would like to be when they grow up. This could be anything they like, children have a wide imagination, and so let them pretend what they like to be while they are growing up. It also help them to build their personality. This is also an opportunity for you “parent” to dress up in your work attire as well to get to know you just a bit better.
Looking forward to seeing
