We'd like to take a short break from our usual greetings to send our gratitude to all those who have helped make transformative change happen in schools this year through their support of Morningside Center. Please read about the change you have brought here.
And for those who haven't yet given: We would be honored if you would join our spring campaign and help us reach our June 30 fundraising goal. You'll not only enable us to generate the free resources we'll be sharing with you all year long, you'll be making a powerful difference in the lives of young people and educators. Find out more here. And thank you!
And now... See below for teaching ideas to end the school year, a new lesson on struggles for Black and indigenous peoples' land rights, our upcoming free online workshops, good stuff to read, and more. Enjoy!
This two-part lesson challenges students to think about the root causes of our nation’s longstanding issues around land and land rights – especially as they affect Native Americans and African Americans.
The year is coming to a close! We offer a collection of activities and tips to deal with spring fever, tackle anxiety, and build community and connection during these final weeks of school.
“What if one of the answers to reducing inequality and addressing mental health concerns among young children is as simple as providing more opportunities to play? By Jackie Mader in Hechinger Report
"It is not man who owns the land; it is the land that owns man.... From beginning to end it nourishes us; it quenches our thirst, it shelters us, and we follow the order of its seasons." - Ojibwe Chief Mishi-Waub-Kaikaik
