Experiencing “The Day You Begin on Stage
Anti-Bias Early Childhood Working Group
December 3, 2022
The anti-bias early childhood education working group gathered to attend a staged production of Jacqueline Woodson’s The Day You Begin at the Kennedy Center for their December meeting.
After partially discussing this book during their September meeting as something to read during the first few days of school, the group wanted to see how it was imagined as a musical play. A number of working group members brought their own children, as well.
After the play, the group briefly met and discussed how the play deviated and remained similar to the book. One group member already had plans on bringing her students to the play, and is looking forward to experiencing it with them!
