Our students have been having a blast combining literacy, science, and art! 🚀📚🎨
In literacy, we read Dancing Through Space by Lydia Lukidis and illustrated by Sawyer Cloud. This inspiring biography tells the story of Dr. Mae Jemison, the first woman of color to travel into space. We read the book the day before the Artemis rocket launch, making the experience even more exciting!
During science, students watched clips of the Artemis launch as well as footage from Dr. Jemison’s historic 1992 mission. After seeing photos and videos of her, one amazed student exclaimed, “You mean she is real!”—a powerful moment that brought the concept of a biography to life. We even watched as she suited up for her journey into space.
In art, creativity soared as students designed their own rockets, transformed photos of themselves into astronauts, and painted moons for our bulletin board.
It has been an unforgettable, cross-curricular adventure that sparked curiosity, creativity, and inspiration. The sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning! 🌕✨🚀
