It was the first day of school for Tyreek at his new school and kids began to stare at him for looking different. He didn't know how to feel or why they were staring.

The other students in his class chose not to sit next to him when it was free time and he felt something was off. He consulted his new teacher about the issue to see if she could help

She found it may be helpful to talk to these students in private. She talked to them about how different cultures provide lots of different opportunities for everyone and how they shouldn't treat someone different because of the color of their skin.

These two students began to apologize to Tyreek and he felt included now. At recess he showed them some games that they played back in his home country. Both of his new friends showed the rest of the class and they enjoyed it too!

In class, Mrs. Applebee decided to give Tyreek the chance to talk more about his culture to introduce more things about it to the class. Tyreek finally felt included and was enjoying his school. 

Tyreek went home after school and told his mom all about his day. He was glad Mrs. Applebee was there to help him when times were hard earlier in the day. Now, he has new friends and is able to be himself!

The End
