Superhero Alert: Steel of DC Comics...


John Henry Irons is the super powered hero Steel of DC Comics! This Man of Iron was greatly inspired from folk hero John Henry ( a steel driver who won a race against a steamed powered hammer machine) and the Man of Steel himself-- Superman!

John a genius inventor and engineer starts off his story working a corporation called AmerTrek. After realizing though his invention the BG-60, a powerful man portable energy cannon was used for evil, he destroyed the blue print and fled his job to another city called Metropolis. There, while working a construction job, ended up high on skyscraper falling off saving a friends life. However, he heroic effort not in vein because he was then saved by Superman! When asked how he could show is gratitude for the Kryptonian saving his life, Clark responded--"Live a life worth saving." It wasn't too long after that Irons would do just that.

During Superman's battle against the super villain Doomsday, he tried to return the favor by helping the Man of Steel but was buried in the rubble of this fight. Superman died thereafter. Once recovered and later finding out his design for AmerTrek was upgraded (BG-80) and used in a gang war, John Henry Irons in honor of Superman became the new Man Of Steel (which Superman later shortened to "Steel") and not destroyed the weapons (he found were given by AmerTrek known later as White Rabbit) but also the war that was going on. John's heroism would continue on leading him to land a spot of JLA (Justice League of America).

Steel's powers included battle armor that have a variety of powers like super strength, flight via jet boots, a kentic hammer (his most famous weapon), and a rivet cannon.

A little act of kindness can inspire a person to do great things! What would you do if were shown a great act of kindness? Would you become a hero too just like Steel? Leave comments below!

Randoms: Quote of the Day!




"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents"
- Emilie Buchwald

It is important to read to your children. Lead by example. If you read, the chances of your child following the footsteps of their parents are more than likely. Make it interesting and fun. Read stories that they love (like a Harry Potter, Heddrick McBride, Doctor Suess, Carolivia Herron) or would think about reading. After that, then slide a few educational books in for their minds, trust me it will pay off. Dramatize it. Take on the personality of the characters and story itself. If you do, your kids are going to be joyfully engaged. It will be like watching a movie being acted out or going to a play that they have gotten tickets to go and see. Come on, you were a child once before so you should know how fun it can and will be! Pick a day(s) to read! This can set the stage for your child to expect which day a story is to be read to them or on what days-- do everyday if you can. If you and your spouse read to the kids read together or split it up. One person gets this day and the other person gets the next or one person gets this week and the next person gets the next. I am sure you all can figure it out. Make them read the book with you. It will help improve their comprehension and their reading ability. Before you know it, they will be  going from cat and hat to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Finally, make them start picking out books. Make sure it is something that they can read. 

And there you have! Now get on that reading rainbow and read!
















Randoms: Law and Order: Special Letters Unit......


I. Love. Seasame. Street. And think you love them too! They have been on television forever and I seem to not get tired of seeing them. Maybe it is just the child in me! No matter if it is or not I just can't get enough. The clip I decided to share with you is about the alphabets...but with a twist....a Law and Order twist! Letter M is missing. No ones where it or where it has went. It is up to the Special Letters Unit to figure that out. It is hard task but with the Chunk Chunk sound, angry cops, and a missing letter at stake, someone has to do it. You will be surprised at what happens as the details of this case unravels!


Randoms: First African-American In Space.....


"My desire was to [ give a hand] to the program"

August 30th marks the thirtieth year anniversary of the first African-American Astronaut in space! And that person goes by the name Guion"Guy" Bluford. He along with two other African-Americans ( Fred Gregory and Ron McNair) were chosen amongst the 35 spaceflyers selected (with six of them being women and one of the being the famous Sally Ride) on this ground breaking mission. This was part of the barrier breaking class of Astronauts in 1978.

He along with others, launched into a low-Earth orbit aboard Space Shuttle Challenger way back in 1983. Though he knew he could have be selected to become the first African-American in space, can you imagine he didn't even set out to be that pioneer? All he wanted to do was do the best he could. But as fate would have it, he efforts would rocket him off in American history! People all around stood patiently and eagerly early in the morning around 1am outside of Nasa just to see Guy fly. "What was so good about Guy was the fact that [he] was so good" states Charles Bolden the first black Administrator for NASA in 2009. 

Hard work definitely pays off. Although Guion "Guy" Bluford didn't mind being second, he has over the years become fine with his mark in history. "I wanted to set the standard....so that other people would be comfortable with African-Americans flying in space" says Bluford in a NASA interview. Boy did you! Thanks to your efforts you have inspired millions and for that, I like to say... Thank You!



Tips: Back to School/ The importance of friends.....


Hey Y'all... I'm Back!!! After getting settled into school, I am here again to give you all a tip I am sure will come in handy! But enough of that, let's dive right in...

How does it feel going back to school?! Is it fun?! Is it exciting?! I am sure it is. I can imagine all the old friends that you met up with again and the new ones who will be familiar faces too in no time. This goes for you all who are at a new school too! I know you were excited to discover a new bunch of kids with some of them coming to a new school just like you!!! Hmmmpp...you know, this reminds me of the fun times I had going to school. I can vividly remember playing at recess with my friends and just doing all the fun stuff that us kids do! And what make this more memorable is that I still hang out with them to this day. Because of this this, it brings me to my tip of the week: The importance of friends.

Friends are important. They are there for you when you are down and they are there to share and make memorable to times with. They are even there to help you discover things that you never knew about...even if those things are about yourself! How many times did you not something but your best friend did? Or how about when you were scared of something and your friend scared or not, walked fearlessly with you it? It is important to treat those friends right and to always be there for them too whether you are sitting with them at lunch or giggling next to them in class after telling a really funny joke! Friends are important and special just like you. And I promise you those friends will last a lifetime. Who knows.....that good friend could even be YOU!

What makes a good friend? Are you a good friend? Leave comments below!
