[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6 year old came home today and I asked her about BLM activities and I got a blank stare. I asked her about black history month-nothing. There was no talk in her grade about anything related to BLM even though we got multiple emails about.   I have no problem with a BLM lesson but as I suspected, DCPS has big ideas and no clue on how to implement them in a meaningful way.  The kids were told to dress in black today to show “solidarity”— so superficial. Hopefully other schools have thought out lesson plans. [/quote]

I encourage you to email the teacher and ask about the day's activities rather than count on your 6-year-old to report (your k/1st grade teacher may not even be referring to it as BLM and choosing to use words that are easier for the younger set to understand) and immediately jump to the conclusion that nothing is being done. DCPS has incorporated black history into grade level curriculum that is built in throughout the academic year.  It's one of the things that DCPS is doing right (at least at our school) As your child ages, you will see examples of this.[/quote]
