Iraqi Refugees in Our Schools Workshop

This past weekend I was a part of a team of women that put together a workshop for Washington teachers. “Iraqi Refugees in Our Schools” grew out of a concern that teachers might need some new ideas, strategies and skills for working with the influx of Iraqi refugee children arriving in our schools.

I was responsible for registration, the resource table and I gave a presentation at the end about children's resources. I also did a childrn's folktale from Iraq called "Five Threads" from the book Celebrate the World by Margaret Read MacDonald.

Here are some photos of the event:
