Who writes limericks these days—a clever leprechaun, perhaps? While we don’t know about leprechauns, we can tell you this: it’s time for Imagine Learning’s annual limerick contest, starring YOU—students from our partner schools across the country. So, what is a limerick, anyway? Here’s an example: You really don’t need to nitpick when you write down your first limerick. Just think of our theme, Then, take time to dream. Your rhyme’s sure to dazzle St. Patrick! Now that you have a general idea of what a limerick is, watch The Limerick Song (below) to learn all the rules of limerick writing. Send your Limerick entries to motivation@imaginelearning.com LIMERICK CONTEST ENDS FRIDAY, MARCH 16TH AT 5PM. https://vimeo.com/89053316

Did you know that February is dedicated as Black History Month? Most teachers are familiar with Civil-Rights-Era figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks or Malcolm X. But, how much do you know about some of our most famous African American inventors? Many modern-day African American inventors created items with a far-reaching impact. You may recognize one name quite well! Dr. Patricia Bath (1942– ) invented a safer, less invasive medical tool called the Laserphaco Probe for use in cataract surgery. She also co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. Wallace 'Wally' Amos, Jr. (1936– ) perfected his chocolate chip cookie recipe over many years, and then founded the Famous Amos cookie brand so familiar today. Dr. Thomas Mensah (1950– ), a native of Ghana, has received 7 worldwide and national patents for fiber optic technology, including a macro-fiber composite that mimics the behavior of muscles and nerves. James E. West (1931–) invented a sensitive, compact microphone that has since factored into laptop computers, cell phones, hearing aids, and baby monitors. Lonnie G. Johnson (1949– ), an astrophysicist for NASA, not only worked on the Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Cassini mission to Saturn, but he also created the famed 'Super Soaker' water gun! The next time you use a smart phone, or eat a delicious Famous Amos cookie, remember how much you owe to African American inventors who created the products you enjoy today.
