Mrs.Wyatt’s second grade class ventured to the beach today to learn about watersheds and create their own in the sand. There was also time to be Ocean Guardians and clean the beach.

Today was a magical day celebrating spring with May pole dancing and flower crown making.

https://www.npr.org//716/talking-race-with-young-children Last week, we invited you all to create a Brave Space together here at our schools, homes, and communities. For this week’s brave action, we ask you to focus on talking about race with your children. This is a difficult conversation topic for many of us and for differing reasons. Nevertheless, we must not shy away from this. Please listen to this 20 minute podcast on NPR: Parenting: Difficult Conversations, with... the following guiding question in mind: When did you first talk to your child/children about race? And if you have never, why not? Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below! With peace and power The DEI Taskforce
