@mrdstern A4. I think it's fantastic!It's empowering, gives them a voice & let's them know that each one of us can make a difference #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@mrdstern this sounds great! #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 A3. This is something that I haven't done yet but would like to bc of the rich value I know it would bring to the class and Ss

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@mrdstern I read this as well for self portraits and the colours of us #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

A2. I love this book for talking about make up of diff families, similarities/differences #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@mrdstern I did the self portraits with gr 1/2s this year for art and had great discussions with Ss about race, colour, identity #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@mrdstern A1. Picture books typically generate great discussions. Ss experiences/festivals/celebrations, have them share with class #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 this was co-constructed with Ss & strategies determined togethe how to get back to 'green'

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@rendia32 w/ coloured popsicle sticks Ss to self-identify feelings. Had own & put on edge of their desks #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 a1. Discussion of strategies as well, a lot of modelling

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 a1. Similar to @rwatt_FDK we read books, had a lot of discussions/brainstorms about diff feelings, look like, sound like,feels like

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 A5. Have not had this experience yet

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#Yorku3 A4. Thankfully haven't had this experience yet.Tricky bc need to be respectful. Explain it's awareness not pushing new/diff beliefs

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@FionaCopley I wonder..I think many parents would/will have concerns with this, even with private stalls #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 a lot of reasons why not realistic in elementary for multiple individual wshrms ($,space,etc) raises question of singling out inds

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 A3. Our school doesn't have these but I consider the single bathrooms in fdk rms to be gender neutral

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@FionaCopley @lindsay_kitchen agreed! Can get a lot of insight into family dynamics through obs & conversations at drama centre #yorku3

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

#yorku3 A2. Create a safe environment where Ss feel comfortable to be themselves & individuality is celebrated

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]

@FionaCopley when comments arise have had discussions about no such thing as girls toys/boys toys, they are for everyone #yorku3 #yorkuedpl

[Katie Di Quattro @ktdq04]
