Links We Love: Britt Hawthorne

Join Wheaton Montessori teachers in celebrating Black History all year AND during February. Today, we highlight one leader we are grateful for: Britt Hawthorne. A few of the many reasons we appreciate her and her work is the increased conversations, information exchange, and booklist sharing. Follow the link to her blog for great ideas to celebrate Black History that are developmentally appropriate too! https://britthawthorne.com/blog/childrens-activities-black-history-month/
