Description

Join us for a fun and interactive summer reading program focusing on diversity and inclusion! OCA Westchester & Hudson Valley, with support from the India Center of Westchester, is offering a unique book reading program for children ages 7 to 9 for one week! Our interactive lessons allow children to celebrate diversity in America, be proud of their identities and develop empathy. The five classes are Monday to Friday from 10am to 11am beginning August 9. The last class will end, on Friday August 13th, with a short certificate ceremony until 11:30am. This event will take place in person at the India Center of Westchester (www.indiacenter.us). Lessons will include a short sing-a-long or breathing exercises followed by book reading with a Q&A discussion. Our goal is for children to feel empowered by their uniqueness, embrace the differences of others, and lean on calming strategies recommended by Mindful Schools (www.mindfulschools.org) during stressful times. Lessons will be led by OCA-WHV's reading program leader, Al Lee, and a fun team of teen interns. Examples of books that may be used are: The Invisible Boy by Trudy LudwigSixteen Years in Sixteen Seconds: The Sammy Lee Story by Paula YooBaseball Saved Us by Ken MochizukiHeroes by Ken MochizukiQueen of Physics: How Wu Chien Shiung Helped Unlock the Secrets of the Atom by Teresa RobesonIndoor space is very limited.
