Help your early years students learn about Dr Mae Jemison with a fun craft activity.

🚀 Blast Off with the First Black Female Astronaut!

Learn about a doctor, scientist, and NASA astronaut, all in one out-of-this-world pioneer.

In this activity, students will identify 2-D shapes and colour them according to the key. When they’ve finished colouring each icon, students will cut each out and glue them to cardstock or construction paper to create a rocket that sends Dr Jemison on her newest space mission.

Place this activity in your math centre and direct fast finishers to complete it once your lesson is complete.

✂️ Hand Them the (Safety) Scissors 🖍️

You don’t have to cut these elements yourself. This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities.

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

  • Strengthen finger and hand muscles
  • Build dexterity and fine motor skills
  • Improve hand-eye coordination
  • Develop focus and attention

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil, a toothbrush, a fork; button a shirt, zip-up pants, tie shoes; write, type, and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
