We touch on this all year long in 1st with AGE APPROPRIATE materials and language. We really focus on kindness, respect, being an up-stander, and how we are the human race and need to be there for everyone. We also make sure that we have representation when it comes to books, crayons, paper, etc. We celebrate our differences constantly and talk about how boring it would be if we were all exactly the same.

Remember the trauma-informed approach: We don't always know everyone's story, so introducing a topic, previewing expectations in a talking circle/forum (e.g. review how to have a respectful conversation among different viewpoints, there might be discomfort, blaming, and jumping to conclusions), and reiterating that it is a safe space to share, is very important. Offering our availability via email for students who do not feel comfortable sharing in front of others opens up an avenue for them to share.

All year we've been talking about the racism towards the native people of California. Then we talked about he racism that the Chinese faced during the Gold Rush, and now we're talking about how the Native Americans and the Chinese people dealt with systematic racism during the building of the transcontinental railroad. (We finish that tomorrow.) I'm planning on tying that into to what is happening now and comparing to the similarities.

We read and discuss many books about Martin Luther King and discuss how it would look and feel if we couldn't be in school together based on the color of our skin. I always tell kids that I think that MLK was the strongest person in the world because he changed the world by using his heart to love, his brains and his mouth to speak and his feet to march and make our world a better place for all people,.

We say a cheer every day, even through Distant Learning focusing on the Life Skills.  My students know the Life Skills are the most important thing they need to learn this year!  We studied MLK Jr. and many other famous people, focusing on the Life Skills they used.  Working on biographies helps the kids see ALL people matter!!  Biographies teach the students ALL people can make a difference.
