Characters from Langston Hughes Short story, ‘THANK YOU MA’M’ came alive as students displayed their ‘acting skills’ through a Reader’s Theatre Presentation. This short story speaks volumes about the spirit of human kindness and how compassion and a helping hand can make a world of difference in a young person’s life.
Following the Reader’s Theater Presentation, fifth grade scholars took on the persona of outstanding African-American Scientists and Inventors. The lives and contributions to these singular individuals were demonstrated through student created models and biographical sketches. The assembly hall was illuminated with the inventions of Cornelius Henderson, engineer, Louis Latimer, inventor, Dr. Percy L. Julian, scientist and several other extraordinary African-American Historical Figures.
Watch out Broadway, here we come!
