| Details | For the Early Childhood Education Initiative (ECEI) team at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, celebration and affirmation are at the foundation of early conversations about history, culture and identity with children. Join ECEI Director, Anna Hindley, and Lead Education Specialist, Ariel Moon, to discover how museum objects can be used to create joyful and empowering learning experiences for preschool through 2nd grade students. Anna and Ariel will share NMAAHC Kids’ Joyful ABCs online resource collection for use in participants’ classrooms. Based on the book, A is for All The Things You Are by Anna Hindley, this series of activity books and videos uses museum objects and stories of Black history and culture to support all children to express and love themselves. The session will focus on supporting educators to use developmentally appropriate strategies for beginning these important conversations and lessons by utilizing the Joyful ABCs series resources. |
