This free mini-lesson for Black History Month is part of my Wellbeing Curriculum and it is designed to empower your children to use their own unique voices, stand up for what they believe in, and also to shine a light on racism and inequality. My lessons focus on empowering the children, changing mindsets, raising emotional intelligence and self-awareness, and of course, supporting their wellbeing and mental health.
