After reading the book Hair for Mama, children will review cancer fact sheet, complete a whole-class KWL on the topic of cancer, and choose the most important facts they learned to complete the L in the KWL chart.
After completing this the students will watch a video recorded by children at the Seattle Children's Hospital.
The students are then asked to write to children in the hospital battling/recovering from Cancer.
It is also a good opportunity to invite a guest speaker into the room to speak with the children from a local Children's hospital, Locks of Love, or other organization in your area.
I hope this lesson is useful to your class and helps raise awareness, compassion, and forms a sense of humility in your classroom.
