What we will learn:

  • Language and vocabulary related to equity and anti-bias
  • History of inequity and civil rights
  • Facilitation and leadership skills
  • Public speaking
  • How to be an ally

Registration is open now through the end of May.  Registration is limited to 20 students.

NAVIGATORS (LAWYER) MORNING MEETING

It was a joy popping by Ms. Lawyer's classroom as the students respectfully went through their morning routine. They checked the incubating chicken and duck eggs. They did some math and sight reading. Then one student was given a chance to create a pattern based on the color of his fellow students' eyes (two brown eyed people, four blue-eyed people, two brown eyed people, etc.). There were two students who did show-and -ell and finally, the students and teachers went around the room and greeted each other with hugs and handshakes. There was a strong sense of community and wellbeing exhibited in the classroom. LINK TO 12 PICTURES
