Crowd Sourcing / Sharing Research

Over the next couple of weeks our 4th and 5h grade students will be working to gather objective facts about both candidates (from the 2 major parties) for President of the United States.  We’ll be using a simple google form to compile and share our findings.

More than ever, in this very divisive political climate, we find a greater need to search for facts first and then use those facts to drive our political conversations at home.

 

Day of Unity 2016

While the DBE Library has a continued commitment to providing diverse books for all our students K-5, this seems like an appropriate time to provide a list of a selection of DBE Library materials that might help to promote understanding, commit to activism, and discuss issues of race head on.
