Grades Offered
Mrs. A has a course for third and fourth grade social studies. If you are a fourth grader and haven’t yet taken that, it is highly recommended to start there and follow with this course next year.
Addressing sensitive topics like discrimination and racism with care and expertise is crucial in creating a safe and inclusive learning environment. Mrs. A is well-prepared to navigate these discussions with sensitivity, honesty, and respect for all perspectives. While acknowledging the realities of discrimination throughout history and in contemporary society, my goal is to foster understanding, empathy, and a commitment to kindness and acceptance among students. Any instances of direct discrimination or unkind behavior within the classroom will be promptly addressed by the instructor, and appropriate follow-up actions will be taken, including potential removal from the session or formal intervention through Outschool Safety & Support protocols. Our priority is to ensure that all students feel valued, respected, and supported in their learning journey.
