Cultural Community Ambassadors are community members that come into Albemarle County elementary classrooms to read multicultural picture books. The purpose of this initiative is to allow students to see more positive representations of themselves and develop stronger cultural awareness. This blog serves as a record of student dialogue about the various topics discussed in the books.

Identifying Character Traits and Text-to-Self Connections
How would you describe the main character? Describe similarities and differences between you and Ron?
I think Ron is brave. He stood on a desk in the library! I would never do anything like that! Ron is African American like me. I'm lucky because I wasn't born during the Jim Crow laws like Ron. Ron uses books to study and I do too. Ron might like going to high places because he wanted to be an astronaut. I'm really scared of heights. Ron did become an astronaut and got to fly into outer space.
