Fair is Fair: An Enactment of Fairness, Equality and Equity by Kindergarten
Inspired by Sonny Varela and Peter Mahr’s book Fair is Fair — a guiding text during their “Civics: Communities and Citizens in Action” Integrated Unit — Kindergarten students acted out a story of animals being fed just what they need by their caretaker to illustrate the concepts of fairness, equality and equity.
Story was the way in to thinking about the complex and abstract ideas of fairness and equity for Kindergarten, so how fitting that they harnessed the power of story to share their learning with the school community.
“Fairness isn’t everyone getting the exact same. Fairness is everyone getting what they need"
