Middle School Teacher Guide

“Belonging is built by what we say, who we include, and how we treat each other.” Middle schoolers think hard about fairness, identity, and fitting in. That’s exactly why this age is powerful for inclusion. This guide connects the genetics of Down syndrome to its history and to the everyday social choices students make.

Pre-K Take-Home Family Kit

Everything to send home so families can celebrate 3.21 with their preschooler: a ready-to-copy family letter, a simplified sock game, drawing pages, a photo prop sign, and conversation cards. There’s also a teacher page on building the kit and using the My Sock Friends page in class.

Preschool Teacher Guide

“Everyone is different, and everyone belongs.” Young children don’t need medical details. They need simple, joyful ideas: friends come in all kinds, differences are good, and everyone gets to play. This guide keeps things hands-on, full of movement, and short enough for circle time.

Talk It Out — K–2

Six ready-to-go mini-lessons that expand the “More messages to teach” page of the Lower Elementary Teacher Guide. Each one has what to say, what kids might say back, a quick activity, and ways to keep it going all week. Six classroom posters are included.
