Civ Museum (6th Grade)
Over the past school year, sixth grade students learned about ancient civilizations. During our culminating Civ unit, students are asked to apply this knowledge by creating civilizations of their very own. In groups of five or six, they imagine every aspect of their newly-flourishing societies: religion, language, social structure, economics, shelter, clothing, and more. At our Civ Museum, students will present final displays of their societies.Redwood Day Gym -

Accountable White Allies for Racial Equity (AWARE) Virtual Meeting
AWARE is for white-identifying adults committed to fighting for racial and social justice. AWARE provides a supportive, open community space to learn, take anti-racist action, and dig into challenges as we aim to embody antiracism in parenting and our communities. To do this work effectively, we need to consistently reflect on our identity and place in systems of oppression. AWARE members aim to address our own unconscious biases and take an active role in undoing racism in our communities and ourselves. This parent/guardian group is modeled after our White, Antiracist Educators (WARE) group for faculty/staff. Zoom link will be published in the Redwood Day Weekly. Please contact Brooke Abola or Diana Pasquali, Co-facilitators or Meredith Spencer, Director of Equity and Inclusion with questions.Zoom (link published in the Redwood Day Weekly) -
