As a part of our celebration and exploration of Black History Month, each day students learn about a new person each day through a story time and accompanying activity. This week, students learned about Dorothy Vaughan, Dr. Patricia Bath, and Bessie Coleman. To understand Dorothy's role in computer science, students practiced "coding" their names by assigning each letter in their name a different color. We made copies of Dr. Patricia Bath's invention to help understand the human eye and help others to see better. After learning about Bessie Coleman, the first African American and Native American pilot in our country, we practiced making and flying our own paper airplanes!
