School is out! I plan to use the time to change the purpose of this blog. It will be a teacher to teacher blog, providing information on new childrens literature, news releases, music, etc. that are relevant to the It's OK program. As it continues during the school year, I hope it will be an information board for teachers participating in the program. A website of general information is also being developed and the program is now on Facebook. I welcome your comments and suggestions as I continue to promote teaching tolerance to very young children.
