 We are excited to support Randolph Public School kindergarten teacher Amy Dossantos create an afterschool multicultural club for students across all four Randolph elementary schools with a Betty Allen-MASCD Anti-Racist Mini-Grant. We were impressed with Amy’s discussion of the importance of engaging young children in learning about cultural differences. She noted, “Research shows children as early as pre-school age notice, discuss, question and draw conclusions about skin color.” Her response is to provide learning experiences where young children can explore race and culture, affirm differences, and develop empathy. The club will be held virtually, due to Covid restrictions, and Amy has innovative ways to engage the students. She will create her own recorded lessons and engage the students in dialogue via Flipgrid. The grant will be used to purchase a subscription to “Little Global Citizen,” stamps for the pen pal program that is part of the club, and craft supplies, including multicultural crayons and paper. We look forward to hearing from Amy at the end of the year about the students’ experiences in the multicultural club.
