Virtual Learning Schedule for In-Person Students
Social Justice for Elementary Kids
Over the course the of the next few weeks, all students at Grassy Creek will join in lessons about mental health and wellness, along with introductions to social justice topics appropriate for school age children.
- Research has shown that children even as young as three years of age notice and comment on differences in skin color.
- Humans of all ages tend to ascribe positive qualities to the group that they belong to and negative qualities to other groups.
- Despite some adults’ attempts to protect children from frightening media content, children often become aware of incidents of community violence, including police shootings.
- Adults who don’t proactively talk about racial issues with the children around them are inadvertently teaching the children that race is a taboo topic. We want to raise children to accept individuals from diverse cultures and need to counter negative attitudes that children develop from exposure to the negative racial stereotypes that persist in our society.
We are using many resources aligned with Indiana State Academic Standards, National Standards, and our social-emotional learning curriculum from Second Steps. Want to learn more? Check out these resources:
- Second Steps Social Justice Lesson guide - we will use some of these tools throughout the year but not all at once.
- Social Justice Standards - this is the resource provided by the Indiana Department of Education to guide age appropriate conversations about social justice in the school setting.
- 5 Tips for Raising an Antiracist Child - great ideas for both home and school!
Follow a group of children through a day in their school, where everyone is welcomed with open arms. A school where students from all backgrounds learn from and celebrate each other's traditions. A school that shows the world as we will make it to be.
Find this one on the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices!
Includes an extensive Note to Parents and Caregivers with guidelines for discussing race and racism with children, child-friendly definitions, and sample dialogues.
