Their topic this term is 'Explorers' and the class are preparing a presentation for assembly. DD pointed out that all the explorers they were learning about were male, and asked if she could talk about a female explorer and suggested Sacagawea. We've just been looking up facts for her to use.

I know it's a small thing, but she is really fired up about it Smile

That's a great kid you have there! Good on you for encouraging her.

What a fabulous DD and great choice too. There's a wonderful passage in The Politics of Breastfeeding by Gabrielle Palmer, I think it's the end of the final chapter, about Sacagawea. She had her baby with her while exploring/leading the two white male explorers and achieved her amazing feats in the context of motherhood and breastfeeding. Quite awesome.
