Just finished the prologue and about halfway through chapter 1. Excited to join #antiracistbookclub later today with @britthawthorne @antibiasmontessori — For an intro to the group, I’m Laura and lately I’ve been trying to unpack my privilege and figure out where I contribute to the system that oppresses others and where I can learn/listen/reflect on what others have done. As a teacher, I know that means it’s doubly important for me to do this work for my students so that I do not reinforce parts of the system that continue to cause trauma or commit micro-aggressions. — My racial identity is White and my ethnicity is English, Scotch-Irish, and Swedish. I’m a cis-gender woman and I am a Christian. I do not have any disabilities. I’m working middle class and I speak one language (English). I was raised all over the US but have lived on the East Coast most of my life. I currently live in the South. — I’m still exploring my current definition of what both racism and anti-racism mean. I have my definition that I have relied on since college based on a class centered around books by Cornel West and others, which is focused on acts/beliefs/prejudice directed against others based on race and that come from a place of power/superiorty. But after reading the prologue I am still thinking through and wanting to learn more based on the quote from above (swipe left).

Love this “splat” game I learned about from a colleague. Made my own version and linked a free copy in my profile. Great way to practice reading words (schwa this week) and have fun! #ortongillingham #literacy #wordstudy #phonics

Happy Diwali! :) Looking forward to talking to my students about this beautiful Hindu holiday.

How cute is this display of dresses from my sis @dotdotsmileamyd!? Heading to visit her and do some “gulp” holiday shopping. Happy Saturday! #dotdotsmile #entrepreneur
