Who Is Greta Thunberg? 

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish climate youth activist who sparked an international movement to fight climate change beginning in 2018. With the simple message "School strike for climate" handwritten on poster board, Thunberg began skipping school on Fridays and protesting outside the Swedish Parliament. Thanks to social media, her actions have spread and influenced millions of young people all over the world to organize and protest. Launching "Fridays For Future," Thunberg and other concerned youths throughout Europe have continued to pressure leaders and lawmakers to act on climate change through their regular walkouts. Thunberg has also traveled the world, meeting with global leaders and speaking at assemblies to demand climate solutions and a recommitment to the Paris Agreement. Recently diagnosed with Asperger's, the activist has publicly shared her views on her disorder, referring to it as her "superpower."

Thunnberg was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in March 2019, and a few months later she became the youngest individual ever to be honored as Time's Person of the Year.

Early Life 

Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. Thunberg began her climate activism at age 15. Thunberg was born and raised in an artistic family. Her mother, Malena Ernman, is an opera singer, and her father, Svante Thunberg, is an actor. She has a younger sister, Beata, who is a popular singer in Sweden. Like her sister, Beata has been open about her own challenges dealing with disorders like ADHD and OCD.

    ¡Buenos días! Gracias por compartir este texto con nosotras, coincidimos con ustedes en la importancia de visibilizar acerca del cambio climático y reflexionar acerca de nuestra actuación frente a ello. No conocíamos a Greta Thunberg y nos pareció sumamente interesante conocer acerca de su vida.

    It's an excellent selection of a text to share, not only for the fight Greta has done in favour of the world's environment, but also as an example of a person with ADHD and OCB who has been open about her condition and sets an example for other teenagers

The life of Hypatia

Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415, Alexandria), mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, himself a mathematician and astronomer and the last attested member of the Alexandrian Museum (see Researcher’s Note: Hypatia’s birth date). Theon is best remembered for the part he played in the preservation of Euclid’s Elements, but he also wrote extensively, commenting on Ptolemy’s Almagest and Handy Tables. Hypatia continued his program, which was essentially a determined effort to preserve the Greek mathematical and astronomical heritage in extremely difficult times. She is credited with commentaries on Apollonius of Perga’s Conics (geometry) and Diophantus of Alexandria’s Arithmetic (number theory), as well as an astronomical table (possibly a revised version of Book III of her ...

A revolutionary team of climbers makes history on Everest.

  History was made on the world’s highest peak when seven members of the  Full Circle Everest  expedition—along with eight Nepali guides—reached the summit of  Mount Everest . On the morning of May 12, 2022, the team made it to  Chomolungma , the Tibetan name for Mount Everest, which means “Goddess Mother of the World.”  Since the first documented ascent of the peak in 1953, only 10 Black climbers had reached the summit. The Full Circle team, comprised entirely of Black climbers, hopes that its success will inspire a new generation of explorers from all backgrounds.  Now, after years of preparation leading to success, this team of climbers hopes its achievement will change the perception of mountaineering as a non inclusive sport and persuade more Black people to embrace wilderness adventures. Most Everest expeditions typically aim to make summit between the first and third weeks of May, when snowstorms are less likely and wind speeds are normally belo...

Facilitating Learning Through Imaginative Play

By: Maggie Sabin. April 4, 2022. Play is an essential part of life and can be fostered and strengthened in preschool classrooms to promote learning and growth. If all preschoolers do is play all day, how could they possibly be learning? Outsiders might believe that play is just play, but to an educator’s eye, play serves a multitude of different and important functions. Imaginative play is an outlet, a safe space where children can explore the world around them and process their experiences. They might work through their fears and apprehensions of their recent checkup by playing the role of the doctor in their next imaginative play session. Perhaps they play the part of “mom” or “dad” to harness that feeling of control they very rarely have in their lives. Through these dramas, children have a chance to process their thoughts and feelings and explore their relationships with other children. Imaginative play is a great instrument to use to learn the rules of friendship making (and ...
