Fair/Unfair

It is never to early to start on social justice because our students have an innate sense of what is fair and unfair. 

Students were asked "what do you see?" (sometimes directing their eyes to the boxes) and "do you think it is fair or unfair? Why/what makes it fair/unfair?" 

Students had to 

1.2 listen and respond

5.1 respect others POV 

12.2 communicate ideas on media

and begin to

27.1 develop strategies for standing up for oneself and others 

"The people saying beautiful things to the players."

"The small one can see now"

"Unfair, little one can't see, big ones can."

"Unfair, he gets 2 box, he gets none box."

"Fair. I don't know." 

"3 can see now". 

What seems unfair is sometimes fair and what seems fair is sometimes unfair. Our classroom will feel like this from time to time because we all require different number of boxes in order to see the game. 

You may hear "We learn together. We teach each other." tonight.
