Kindergarten students at Medart Elementary recently learned about Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League Baseball.
Students read I Am Jackie Robinson by Brad Meltzer, a title included on Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards recommended reading list for Kindergarten. Through the story, students explored themes of courage, perseverance, and determination while strengthening early literacy skills.
Families who would like to revisit the story at home can access the official author read-aloud here:
