Families Exploring Equity and Diversity

I am thrilled to announce that I am working with Carol Bender and the Manchester Public Library to run another session of F.E.E.D.- Families Exploring Equity and Diversity.   

You can register here: https://manchesterpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/f-e-e-d-families-exploring-equity-diversity-story-time-and-more/

The activities are built for children ages 3.5-5 and their caregivers to work together.  The 7-week series will run on Mondays from 3:30-4:15 from February 27 until April 10 in the Children's Room.

Using books, stories, and hands-on activities, we will explore the following topics over a 7-week session:

• Brainstorm ways we can be welcoming and inclusive of others.

• Practice speaking up when something is unfair

• Celebrate each others' similarities and differences 

• Introduce the concept of identity

• Explore families and ancestors

• Talk about race through the introduction of skin color

• Identify and discuss stereotypes based on gender

Please spread the word and forward this along to anyone who may be interested.
