Character education this month at Credit Meadows focuses on untying the knots of prejudice. This goes well with our classroom learning taking place around black history month. We are studying a variety of stories and picture books carrying a strong theme of prejudice. Today students summarized and read stories to the class, with dramatic expression. Students are also working with Ms. Gammage on creating a perspective piece from an individual's attempt to escape slavery. One of the stories students were looking at today was the Ruby Bridges story. Ruby was one of four african american student, selected on the basis of test scores, to attend school in New Orleans in the 20th century. Students were shown a clip today but were interested in watching more. I would like to show another clip tomorrow. Feel free to review the trailer or movie, pasted below.
I wanted to share this information with you as content and language can be a factor and students may have questions at home. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you, and also a thank you to those families who brought in food drive donations. We will be delivering items to the food bank on the 25th of February.
-Ms. B
