Famous, Fearless Females!

We started our latest social studies unit this week and will be learning about many fearless women throughout the month of March.  Yesterday, we read The Story of Ruby Bridges and discussed the impact that 6 year old girl can have on a country.  The girls fell in love with Ruby's story and we had a wonderful conversation about how resilient she had to be.

Determined. Brave.  Amazing.  These are just three of the words that your daughters used to describe Wilma Rudolph, our second famous female we studied in our latest social studies unit on Women in History.  We traveled down to the first grade room and read the book Wilma Unlimited As a group, we discussed everything that Wilma had to overcome in order to be labeled the fastest woman on earth.
