Read Don’t Touch My Hair and talked about the importance of respecting other people.
Read I Love My Natural Crown
Learned what “Natural Crown” is.
Ms. Aliya asked “who loves their natural crown?” Everyone raised their hand
Ms. Aliya then asked which style they loved from the book. Some of the children said they didn't like that people weren’t being nice to the girl in the book. There was discussion about different hair styles, and who has curly, straight, long or short hair.
After the discussion Ms. Aliya asked "what another word for this is?" (pointing to her head). Margot a child in the class answered “Natural crown!”
