Hello, ladies!

Project!

We will open with 6 classrooms, each of which needs to be named after a special lady. Some parameters:
  • She must have gone to college.
  • She must have had a positive influence on her community or profession.
  • Her accomplishments must be able to be understood by 5- and 6-year-olds.
  • As a whole, the group needs to be ethnically diverse.
So far, I've got Majora Carter, Michelle Rhee, and Indira Gandhi.

Suggestions?

    brave bunny believes those are very strict criteria---basically the candidates must be bipeds and apparently appear in genre other than novels. taken those elements in consideration, he nominates the late eunice kennedy.

    Anne Frank might be a good choice... but not college, of course.

    I am going to say Bea Arthur.
    1. She went to the New School.
    2. Made us aware that Premerin is made of horse urine.
    3. I think 5 and 6 year olds can understand that.
    4. The other 5 can take care of this one.

    Toni Morrison: In 1949 Morrison entered Howard University to study English. Morrison received a B.A. in English from Howard in 1953, then earned a Master of Arts degree, also in English, from Cornell University in 1955, for which she wrote a thesis on suicide in the works of William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf [5].
