"A tree cannot stand on the ground without its roots." ~ African proverb
Just as one preserves the forest, we must preserve our culture. We cannot grow from the roots of another tree, even though they intertwine in the deep underground. In life we intertwine daily but grow strength from our own roots.
~ Kathy-Ann Johnson
"When the roots of a tree begin to decay, it spreads death to the branches." ~ Nigerian proverb

I will provide information about what Africentric practice means to me for the purpose of this website, therefore providing adaptable Africentric classroom practices.

This space is intended for those in the educational field working with grades 4 through 6 (teachers, support staff, resource and administrators). I will attempt to concentrate on Canadian content, while attempting to include as much of Atlantic Canada as possible.
