Do
you Celebrate
Black History Month?
Black History Month?
Each year in February Black History month is celebrated. Let’s celebrate
Black History Month this February with a research activity that results in a
great display. Assign one of the famous African American listed below to each
child. Have the students research his/her person and prepare a short talk on
his/her life and accomplishments. Also have the student prepare some type of visual
such as a poster, cutout, or timeline to accompany his/her talk.
Try beginning in February to set aside time early each day for two students
to give a “morning update” on their famous
African-Americans. After the morning’s updates, mount those students' visuals
on the bulletin board or wall. As your display grows, so will student’s knowledge
and appreciation of our country’s rich African-America heritage.
