Plus, new lessons on Juneteenth & Black farmers Morningside Center NEWSLETTER Dear Morningside Center friends, First, we want to send a huge thank you to all of you who have donated to our spring fund appeal. Your gift will support the creation of new classroom activities throughout the year that we will share with educators for free (see below!). It will also bring comfort and joy to young people and teachers in the schools we work with across NYC and beyond. Thank you! If you've thought about giving to Morningside but haven't yet, this is the moment! Our appeal ends on June 30, so please: Donate now! And below, we share with you a circle to end the year, a new lesson on Black farmers, Juneteenth, and good things to read and do. Enjoy!  New on TeachableMoment Featured A Circle to End the Year Students reflect on the school year through a guided visualization, a circle, and a community-building activity. Juneteenth: Why is it Important to America? Congress has passed and President Biden has signed a new law making Juneteenth a federal holiday. Students learn about and discuss Juneteenth. Do All Farmers Matter? Amid a controversy over a plan to provide debt relief to Black farmers, students dig deeply into history to grapple with the question, “Do all farmers matter?” What We're Reading A New Guide to Effective SEL Programs Find out about the best, research-validated social and emotional learning programs (including Morningside's) in this comprehensive guide from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). How to Advance Racial Justice in Public Education "The best way to celebrate Juneteenth and address the ongoing conversation about racial justice is to continue to exchange ideas, commit to anti-racism for the sake of our nation’s future and own even the most painful parts of our history — not erase them." Dia Bryant in the Daily News What Do Teachers Think About Discussing Racism in Class? We Asked Them. A middle school teacher in Michigan found that "when discussing the origins of race as something that was socially constructed, kids start to make connections and feel empowered to envision a new world where race is deconstructed." By Ileana Najarro at EdWeek. July 23-25: Caring for Each Other & Our Planet is "a first of its kind gathering in the SEL and mindfulness space where K-12 educators will engage with the interrelated nature of racial and climate justice." Morningside's Founding ED Tom Roderick will be speaking! Omega Institute July 23-25, 2021. Register by June 25 using the code ERD for a 10% discount. The conference will also be available via live stream - register here. You can make this happen!
