On an emerging spring morning, the 5th grade boys gathered early at the BORN house for a pancake breakfast before heading to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for a guided tour of the stadium. The students have spent weeks reading Jackie and Me and discussing the impact that Jackie Robinson had on the game of baseball.
For weeks, the 5th grade boys closely read, discussed, and wrote about Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton’s “Facing the Lion”. The BORN students learned a great deal about nomadic life in Kenya and the trials and triumphs of the author while making connections to their own experiences. In order to extend their knowledge, BORN visited the Baltimore Museum of Art on January 8th in order to see some of the African Art Collection and witness the colors and culture of the people about whom they had been reading.
