Upcoming Events:
Counselor’s Corner - Hey all, Here’s what’s going on in the world of Winterhaven Counseling. For the K-6 classrooms we will be focusing on diversity. I had the pleasant experience of learning that the lessons I shared earlier (from Teaching Tolerance) that I was planning on teaching had already been taught in various classrooms around the school. That’s one of the best parts of having such an incredible staff here at Winterhaven. Instead of those lessons (which I will still pick and choose from), I’ll be doing other things. Currently, we are looking at the work that Momondo did on testing DNA from people and learning that these ideas we have about where we are from often aren’t true and most of us are far more diverse than we think. That then allows us to have a conversation about why we may treat people who look differently certain ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyaEQEmt5ls&list=PLyon3Rc2gtzci-FrBfPLcHRS_hfHY9peQ
