As we reach the end of February, we wanted to reflect on how the Las Luciérnagas teachers and students have been honoring Black History Month. Knowing that the LL students are working on so many different aspects of development right now, their teachers found supportive ways to introduce and reflect on the importance of the Black community and their immesurable contributions to our communities throughout history. After the children learned about Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I ...Have A Dream" speech in January, the class started an ongoing kindness chain. They are creating a paper chain with ideas of how to spread kindness including "friendship," "helpfulness," and "you can be who you want to be." LL teachers have also been introducing a new Person of Color each day/week who has influenced our society and world. One of the people of the month is Kid President who the LL students are going to explore at their community play hour! All of the LL teachers and PC staff are working hard to intentionally honor Black History and the vital contributions of People of Color to our society this month and beyond. More updates coming soon about our work and plans as an organization! . . . . #blackhistorymonth #followthecommotion #projectcommotion #blackhistoryeveryday #antiracisteducation #kindnessquotes #equityineducation See more
