Mae Jemison Craft for Black History & Women's Month
This is a fun craft to do after reading the book Mae Among the Stars or any book about Mae Jemison. Have the kids make the spaceship by cutting and gluing it together, then have them decorate their own spacesuit. Lastly, add a photo of their face! It is so cute and such a great lesson! It makes a great bulletin board too! Have fun!
