Talking about differences

I know that many of you will be talking to your students about physical characteristics and differences this week.  Some of these conversations may be unplanned, between Martin Luther King Jr. day on Monday and the inauguration on Friday, children are certain to be hearing things that they don’t understand or need help processing.

I wanted to tak a minute to pass along an article that I read a couple of weeks ago that offers great advice for handling these touch topics.  Take a minute to head over to Edutopia and read Teaching Young Children about Bias, Diversity, and Social Justice.
