(quilt on display in the 1st floor hallway - thank you to Ms. Carfora & Ms. Maguire!!!)

Last Year, our 1/2 Bridge class students were very interested in reading biographies. We decided to read about famous African Americans and women in history to coincide with both Black History Month and Women's History Month.

After reading about the lives and accomplishments of these famous people, students were asked the following questions:
- Who is someone in your life that we studied that has become very special to you?
- What lesson did they teach you that you can use in your own life?

We were inspired to design a quilt that would display the life lessons that we gained after reading the story Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. Through this story students learned about how slaves designed quilts with symbols that were used as a map to help slaves escape to freedom.

We learned that quilts could be used to convey messages. We decided that our quilt would contain life lessons to help us navigate life. Each block on the quilt depicts an important lesson that we learned from one of the people we studied.

Below is a list of some of the biographies that were used for this study:
*Ordinary People Change the World, I Am Helen Keller
*Ordinary People Change the World, I Am Martin Luther King
*Ordinary People Change the World, I Am Rosa Parks
*Ordinary People Change the World, I am Amelia Earhart
*Ordinary People Change the World, I am Jane Goodall
*Ordinary People Change the World, I am Jackie Robinson
*Ordinary People Change the World, I am Lucille Ball
*Little People, Big Dreams, Maya Angelou
*Little People, Big Dreams, Frida Kahlo
*Little People, Big Dreams, Coco Chanel
*The Story of Ruby Bridges
*Firebird, story of Misty Copeland
*Malcolm Little, The Boy Who Grew Up To Become Malcolm X
*Gymnastics Superstar, Simone Biles
*Little Leaders, Bold Women In Black History
*The Little Plant Doctor, A Story About George Washington Carver
* The Man Who Built A Library, Arturo Schomburg(quilt on display in the 1st floor hallway - thank you to Ms. Carfora & Ms. Maguire!!!)

Volunteer Training:
From helping with recess, to helping in a classroom or on a trip or at an event, volunteers do a lot of important work in our school and are crucial to making 295 the wonderful place it is! It's important as a volunteer that you understand your role and have knowledge about important guidelines to follow — this will allow you to have a positive and rewarding experience.

We are looking to train all adult volunteers who come into the school or go on field trips. We will be offering regular trainings that will last no more than 20-30 minutes.
Please sign up here for a training: bit.ly/2GNMONy
Please email Ellen with any questions: ellengrayce@yahoo.com ... See MoreSee Less
