The 5th-Grade Futurists

In this episode, John, Gabe, and Noah channel their passion for sports and discuss some of the amazing contributions Black Americans have made to the games we know and love today.

Juliana, Jack, and Noah discuss the latest racist controversy about Theodore Geisel Seuss, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss. Kids need to know about the hurtful imagery and ideas espoused by the author and the difference between learning from their mistakes and carrying on with ignorant stereotypes.

In this episode, the 5th-grade Futurists explore the important lives and legacies of three extraordinary women who have fought for freedom and equality for People of Color and explore a poem written by another brave girl, Amanda Gorman.

For every fight that's been fought to protect and continue the despicable of slavery, there have also been acts of resistance. In this episode, John, Jason, Olivia, Juliana, and Noah share why it's important to learn our history, and how to use our voices to fight for that in which we believe.

Welcome to Season 3 of our classroom production. In this episode of the Fifth Grade Futurists Podcast, we learn from Gabe and Noah about the early years of slavery in America, discuss some powerful quotes, and share a poem by Mahogany L. Browne.
