Black History Month

Have I already mentioned that our February was packed full of themes? It was definitely a busy month, but the kids enjoyed all the themed activities!

I was very excited to have found THIS LITTLE GEM OF A UNIT for Black History Month. The unit is chock-full of African-American notables such as Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, George Washington Carver, Jackie Robinson, and more! We read the nonfiction text that is included in the unit   together as a class on our interactive whitboard. The kids took notes as we read together. Afterwards, each child was assigned to be an "expert" on one of the notable African-Americans that was in our text. Each child wrote three sentences about their person and then presented to the class.
