Maddie's class did an exercise in segregation today. The teacher gave half of the kids stickers and those with stickers could do all of their normal activities, get drinks of water and had erasers. At one point, Madeline got her name put on the board for laughing. It was a cool object lesson in racism for the kids that had a big impact on Madeline.
While other schools were taking the day off to celebrate Martin Luther King day, the kids at our school were actually learning about the segregation that MLK fought against.
