And now a word from us kids!
STUDENT: We all chose a famous woman and we made a report.
STUDENT: Someone who did something really special.
STUDENT: And we painted pictures of them.
Binky read about Galileo and learned about Galileo, and I read about Bethany Hamilton, and I learned a lot about her.
Bethany Hamilton is a surfer.
She was surfing.
A shark came and bit off her arm and she still surfs.
I like Bethany because she is very brave.
I chose Elizabeth Blackwell as my famous woman.
She was the first woman to be a medical doctor in America.
I chose Frida Kahlo as my famous woman.
She was one of the greatest artists in Mexico and she did very good self-portraits with animals.
Cathy Freeman is an Aboriginal Australian sprinter.
She was the first Aboriginal Australian woman to compete at the Olympics.
She ran in the 400-meter race.
I chose Rosa Parks.
Rosa Parks was sitting in the white section in the bus.
Rosa Parks helped us to move to better equality.
Grace Brewster Murray Hopper was one of the first computer programmers and made programming languages.
Marie Curie was a scientist.
I want to be a scientist and discover things like Marie Curie.
Jane Goodall is a researcher that went to Africa to study chimpanzees for 50 years.
I just chose her because I basically like nature and stuff like that.
I like learning about famous people and how they made a difference in the world and how we can make a difference in the world too.
And now back to Arthur!
