Normalizing discussions about skin color and race is an important goal in my classroom this year. I am interested to hear how other early years teachers are doing this in their classrooms. Please share any ideas!!

As we begin to explore the different communities we are a part of, the students start with one closest to them: their family! An important part of this is exposure to all different types of families! MYIS International School #ibpyp #EarlyChildhoodEducation #howweorganizeourselves

Trying to create open-ended distance learning experiences that deepen an understanding of our inquiry. Today felt successful! Ss used materials of their choice to create & organize a community, then used a car to travel through their community. #HWOO #IBPYP MYIS International School

From ELL to MLL to dissolving language hierarchies to decolonizing learning to a world where people are celebrated for what they have, not shamed for what they yet have.
