Sojourner Truth Zodiac Sign

[Kum Dana]

Celebrityastrologer Kyle Thomas, who is known for his cosmic guidance among celebrities, businesses and online influencers, spoke to \"Good Morning America\" about the best ways to take advantage of this adventurous full moon.

The Old Farmer's Almanac, which first began publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, states that some Native American tribes refer to the full Moon in May as the \"Flower Moon\" because flowers spring forth across North America in abundance around this time.

For example, the Old Farmer's Almanac states that some northern Native American tribes referred to the May full moon as the \"Budding Moon\" or \"Leaf Budding Moon\" to celebrate the spring's new blooms. Some even called it the \"Planting Moon\" because it marked the time when seeds should be planted for the farming season ahead.

The zodiac sign for each full moon is determined by where the moon is positioned in the night sky relative to the different astrological signs. Each year, the moon will shift, resulting in different characteristics surrounding the moon, according to Thomas.

This year, the Flower Moon is positioned as a full moon in Sagittarius, a fire sign and the ninth on the wheel and on the same Axis as the air sign, Gemini which made the two similar in modality and themes.

Biography: Sojourner Truth was a prominent abolitionist and women's rights activist in the 19th century. Born into slavery, she gained her freedom and became a powerful speaker against slavery and in support of women's rights, leaving a significant impact on these reform movements.

Her birth name was Isabella Baumfree, and she was born enslaved in New York. She escaped to freedom with her infant daughter in 1826, and later successfully sued for the freedom of her son, becoming one of the first black women to win such a case against a white man.

In 1843, she changed her name to Sojourner Truth and embarked on a journey to "speak the truth" about the evils of slavery and the necessity of equal rights for all. She is best known for her speech, often titled "Ain't I a Woman," delivered at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, in 1851.

In addition to her advocacy for abolition and women's rights, Truth also championed prison reform and property rights for former slaves. Her tireless work earned her an invitation to the White House by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864.

The families, students and staff at Brookwood traveled back in time to meet African Americans that have made significant contributions in medicine, science, arts, athletics and entertainment. We were astonished at our students writing and presentation skills as they portrayed great African Americans from American history. This Wax Museum was couple with, "A Taste of Soul", a sampling of soul food cuisine made with love and lots of flavor. The menu consisted of Fried Chicken, Rib Tips, Macaroni & Cheese, Sweet Potatoes, Collard Greens & Cornbread and Fresh Lemonade! What an amazing day to be a Brookwood Bobcat! Thank you Mrs. Leah Slot and Mr. Martin Garay for your leadership with our 3rd graders at Brookwood.

Today we celebrated Harvest Day! Students and staff dawned their best outfits and looked dashing walking through the hallways. The staff wore Waldo outfits so we had to search for them carefully! There were more treats than tricks as we partied with movies, games and plenty to eat! Thanks to all the families that came out to enjoy Harvest day with us.

B-Bop is our school-wide fundraiser that promotes healthy living and eating. Students ran, jogged, skipped, walked or danced around the track.

This is always a special occasion for the students, staff and families at Brookwood. Thank you 3rd graders, Mr. Garay and Mrs. Sisco for creating special memories and enlightening us about many great African Americans that have made significant contributions to our society and world.

The entire school came together to celebrate MLK Day in our new collaboration center. The kids watched videos describing why this day is an important day to all of us. Afterwards, we celebrated in the lunchroom with cupcakes. It was a wonderful experience!

Brookwood 3rd grades, staff and their families journeyed across the Mackinaw Bridge to St. Ignace. Students completed research and presented reports on one of the world's largest suspension bridges where Lake Michigan transitions into Lake Huron, Mackinaw Island and the Upper Peninsula. Next, they experienced a ferry ride to Mackinaw Island. In addition to the boat ride they had the opportunity to:

"Students never learn anything from being told, they have to find out through experiences for themselves."

Today, 51 fourth graders, 4 staff and 31 parents took a road trip to Detroit. We begin our journey to Detroit at 7:00 am. Our first stop was the Detroit Zoo. We spotted rhinoceros, giraffes, peacocks, " Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!"

Next we visited the Charles R. Wright African American Museum. This was an eye opening and engaging experience for parents, students and staff. Students traced African American roots from Africa, Triangular Slave Trade, Cotton fields, and even Motown to this present day. It was sooooo..."Cool"!

We strolled by Fox Theater, Co- America Park and Ford Field in route to have lunch at Red Wing's Hockey Town. The pizza was amazing.

Our trip concluded in Bloomfield, Michigan at the Cranbrook Institute for Science. While there, students deepened their understanding of Forces, Motion, States of Matter, Michigan History and King Tuts exhibits. Cranbrook Institute for Science was highly engaging and lots of fun.

Thanks Mrs. VanVliet and Mr. Jongekrijg for creating lasting memories for our students and families.

"Don't just learn, EXPERIENCE... Don't just exist, LIVE!"

Nearly 90 students and families and 4 staff spent a day in Chicago creating wonderful memories and having a blast. The day started with our students visiting the Adler Planetarium. This site was an extension of the classroom and 5th grade science standards. Brookwood dads strolled Michigan Avenue to ensure every student, chaperone and staff received a bag of Garrett's Chicago Style Popcorn...Mmmmm. Next, the students had lunch at Chicago's famous Portillos. They enjoyed the hot dogs, cheeseburgers, tenders and Italian beef sandwiches that filled their bellies as we departed to spend the afternoon at Lincoln Park Zoo. The lions roared, monkeys screamed and peacocks paraded proudly around their habitat as our students looked with excitement in their eyes! Lastly, and most excitedly, our students concluded this experience at a castle in Schaumburg, Medieval Times dinner show. Brookwood cheered for the Red Knight. Though our Knight didn't win, the entire experience was a victory for our very deserving students.

Last night our itinerant, support, and teaching staff hosted our students with autism and their families. The students had a play date while the parents networked. Parents also attended session to learn strategies to support our students independence, communication and socialization.

Brookwood believes in creating wonderful learning opportunities beyond the brick and mortar of our school. 1st grade studied life cycles and took a field trip to Frederik Meijer Gardens to see the butterflies as a culminating experience to align with their unit of study.

A great big THANK YOU to the Varsity Football Team and Coach Kimbrough for participating in the KPS "Be the Dream" mentoring Program.

Harriett Tubman, Hank Aaron, Oprah Winfrey, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Mae Jamison, Past President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama were just a few of many figures that the 3rd graders at Brookwood portrayed during this theatrical display.

Thank you Mr. Martin Garay and Ahnna Sisco for creating memories for Brookwood!

People born in the year of the Rooster are characterised as honest, energetic, intelligent, flexible and confident. But according to Chinese astrology, the year of your sign is believed to be one of the most unlucky years of your life.

In addition, their active, talkative and engaging ways make them popular with people. They are happiest when they are in company, enjoying the spotlight.
