Black History Matters to Us!

Help me give my students read alouds for Black History Month. My students love learning about strong African American Figures that have helped changed our world.

My Students

My students from West Side Chicago are coming into 2nd grade. My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

My Second grade scholars have a passion for learning about Black History. They take such an interest in learning about their culture's history and doing deep dives on how black figures help shape the lives they have today. With Black History month approaching quickly I want to make sure I have resources to support my scholars in this month. Scholars will read the books as a class, and then follow the books with an activity to expand their knowledge on the person and the injustices they faces when they were alive.
