School Year Calendar CELEBRATE DIVERSITY in STEM! CELEBRATE DIVERSITY in STEM with YOUR STUDENTS! 2020 - 2021 School Year Calendar CELEBRATE DIVERSITY IN STEM! CELEBRATE DIVERSITY IN STEM WITH YOUR STUDENTS! Welcome to First Book’s 3rd annual calendar to help you celebrate culture, diversity, and inclusion all year long! For the 2020-2021 school year, First Book and the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) are partnering together to introduce educators and students to pioneers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). In the U.S., careers in STEM are becoming increasingly integral to our society. From artificial intelligence and space flight, to medical advances and ocean exploration, opportunities in STEM give students new and exciting ways to think about their talents, interests, and future careers. In this calendar, you’ll see month-long observances, religious observances, and dates with cultural, historical, or inclusive significance in STEM fields.e W intentionally worked to celebrate people from marginalized communities, whose ingenuity, perseverance and talents are not always known, but whose impact has been meaningful and transformative. We encourage you and your students to learn more about the people and events that inspire you. Be sure to visit www.fbmarketplace.org/free-resources for more resources to help you celebrate culture, diversity, and inclusion all year long with your students! Please note: For each date which features notable figures, you’ll see either a (b), which indicates this is their date of birth, or an (m), indicating this date marks an innovative milestone related to this individual and their achievements. © 2020 First Book.

  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.

    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state. Edited and designed by Christine Palm, Communications Director This project was originally created under the direction of Barbara Potopowitz with assistance from Christa Allard. It was updated on the following dates by PCSW’s interns: January, 2003 by Melissa Griswold, Salem College February, 2004 by Nicole Graf, University of Connecticut February, 2005 by Sarah Hoyle, Trinity College November, 2005 by Elizabeth Silverio, St. Joseph’s College July, 2006 by Allison Bloom, Vassar College August, 2007 by Michelle Hodge, Smith College January, 2013 by Andrea Sanders, University of Connecticut Information contained in this book was culled from many sources, including (but not limited to): The Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, the U.S.

DESCRIPTORS Annotated Bibliographies; *Biographies; Elementary Secondary Education; Engineering Education; *Females; Role Models; Science Careers; Science Education; *Scientists ABSTRACT The participation of women in the physical sciences and engineering woefully lags behind that of men. One significant vehicle by which students learn to identify with various adult roles is through the literature they read. This annotated bibliography lists and describes biographies on women scientists primarily focusing on publications after 1980. The sections include: (1) anthropology, (2) astronomy,(3) aviation/aerospace engineering, (4) biology, (5) chemistry/physics, (6) computer science,(7) ecology, (8) ethology, (9) geology, and (10) medicine.
