Oh my heart! Beautiful facilitating by the adult here and children problem solving and helping their friend to feel safe on her walk across the plank.

[Ravenswood @RavenswoodPS]

Wow! 🤩 SO much discussion about risk, feelings, fears, how to support our friends, and problem solving. Can Primary 1 walk the plank? Can they secure it? Can they support their friends?💚 @UpstartScot @EYTagteam @NNOL_Scotland @CaFTeam #RtA #Play4P1 #BeingMe

[Lynn Taylor @LynnTaylorEdu]

Books help set the tone in settings. How diverse are yours?

[Seven Stories @7Stories]

Children's books are a powerful way to talk about diversity, equality & racism. After several requests, here are 60 great books by black authors & illustrators as well as stories about incredible black people. #AmplifyBlackVoices #MuseumsAreNotNeutral https://t.co/1sKIEauXOU

Children don't have to sit still when listening to stories. Try some active story ideas to hold their attention.
