Gr 1-3–This portrait of astronaut Ronald McNair (1950–1986) frames excellence as multidimensional and deliberately cultivated. He emerges as a scientist, a scholar, an athlete, a musician, and a thinker whose pursuits informed and strengthened one another. The narrative situates his accomplishments within the realities of segregation and restricted access, underscoring that his ambitions developed within systems not designed to support them.

February’s “Leisure Reads” celebrates Black History Month! The post features illustrated works for children by or about African American and Black people. Many thanks to MSJ librarian Cynthia Gregory for suggesting these reads, who was inspired by the art exhibit “From Caldecott to Coretta Scott: Award Winning Black Illustrators” (curated by Richard Michelson).

Ms. Enriquez from Wyandanch NY is requesting Educational Kits & Games through DonorsChoose, the #1 classroom funding site for teachers. My Students My students are amazing elementary scholars who are fully virtual. Due to COVID-19, the families in my class have chosen to attend school fully remotely. They log in each morning and attend school each period following the same schedule and curriculum that they would if they were in person. I have 2 sets of students, a morning and afternoon class.
