Lower Schoolers display their cultures, characters
In a self-guided experience in atriums and hallways, the Identity Fair shares the products of students' read alouds, activities, and conversations about identity from the first six weeks of school.
By Juanita I.C. Traughber, Communications Director
Lower School Teachers Lizzie Ammerman, Nabilah Rahman, Victoria Roca are leading a division-wide study of identity. Lessons are age appropriate and a natural extension of the work already done around diversity and inclusion. K-4 students shared their work with peers during their Identity Fair on Thursday, Oct. 10.
On display are: interactive puzzles and books explaining students' hobbies, personalities, and cultures; classroom illustrations of factors of identity, including social-economic status, race, and gender; self-portraits, pictures, and paintings of students' physical traits; family mottos; an identity quilt; a feast of cultural foods and family traditions; and, boxes full of personal mementos.
Parents can view their work during parent/teacher conferences this week.
