Black History Month

This week at the Redwood we had the most moms present for a class so far! And although they were sometimes in and out of the room, it was definitely an improvement from the previous weeks. The moms who did come all have multiple children, so the parent to child ratio was well represented. Another highlight of this week’s class was bringing in a song for Black History Month, at the suggestion of the volunteer coordinator. We sang Follow the Drinking Gourd and I researched and spoke a bit about its meaning in relation to the Underground Railroad, as well as why we celebrate Black History Month. Other favourites were Sleeping Bunnies (they request it every week!) and singing about different zoo animals in Going to the Zoo.
