Black History Month!

February is Black History Month!

I think the need to celebrate black history increases every year. These great figures cannot fade from our memory. Our students NEED this type of emphasis.

If you feel like your curriculum is sorely lacking on this important topic, there are so many resources out there to give your students a more rounded view!

Here are some of my favorite resources to get you started. You'll find a wide variety in age groups, methods, and themes, so there's something for everyone! While you're there, give the authors a follow!
