This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
February is Black History Month. As a school counselor, I create schoolwide lessons that focus on cultural awareness and social justice. It is my hope that with the funding of this project, I will be able to share the stories of African American leaders.
This project highlights the stories of African American heroes of then and now through a selection of books geared towards my readers in kindergarten through fifth grade.
I have requested biographies that focus on the humanity, culture, and successes of African Americans. I am excited to share these stories with my eager learners once funding is completed.
