Although her website is a work in progress, I sincerely appreciate what Ki Gross has created. As the creative educator that she is, she has not done all of the work for us. She writes, “The only way to engage with or teach this resource with fidelity is to do the necessary unlearning/ learning it requires.” She encourages us to engage with more resources so that we can “ unlearn, heal, liberate and create,” a better world for, “the little people.”
In this blog entry, I will not be sharing a book, but a link to a web site which might be of interest to you while talking to your students or children or grandchildren about racism. While reading a blog post from A Year of Reading about teaching history responsibly, specifically last week’s events in Washington D.C., it was recommended to look at some helpful resources which led me to Can You Spot the Difference on Woke Kindergarten. I think Woke Kindergarten is a valuable resource. I watched several of the 60 second videos: I Miss My Friends ( about quarantining), Safe (about being safe no matter who you are), Good Trouble ( about John Lewis’ work) My Pronoun Book (about gender pronouns). These 60 second videos are a perfect blend of visual and written texts. They are simple, and right to the point and can be used from Pre School through all elementary grades.
