"Reading to End Racism (RER) provides engaging age appropriate forums designed to explain and explore racism with students. Through interactive presentations led by volunteer readers, students have an opportunity to listen to literature, personal stories and insights regarding racism. Readers facilitate class discussions and assist students in creating proactive solutions for real life situations."
Today, Maika, originally from Norway visited our classroom and introduced our class to the words - racism and prejudice. Students explored what these concepts meant and learned about ways to put an end to them happening. The students used their personal stories and background knowledge to connect with the discussion. Our class also read a book called, My Name is Hannah, and learned about immigration and what it's like to move to a new country. INQUIRE with your child how to sing the new version of "Hokey Pokey" they learned from Maika.
