When Chrissy from Buzzing with Ms. B. reached out to me to participate in this campaign against racism after the shooting in her hometown of El Paso happened, I knew I had to say yes. Here is someone who wasn't content with just feeling sad, angry or hurt about what happened. Here is someone who is taking action. My friend Megan from Too Cool for Middle School posted last week about the Teaching Tolerance Social Justice Standards and how she uses them to guide her in purposeful lessons about race, identity, anti-racism, and other topics. Head over to her post here to download a great resource for your classroom. I wanted to expand a little bit on how to do that using these standards and the Teaching Tolerance Website. Let me honest these topics can be overwhelming for adults to talk about much less teach to children about. This resource has helped guide me into feeling more confident when teaching these topics to my kindergarteners. Yes, I said kindergarteners!
