Getting to the Heart of Black History Bulletin Board
February is Black History Month!! To be honest,I believe we should celebrate Black History Month all the time! Here are some of my favorite Black History Month resources that you and your students will love doing! Check them out below!
Black History Month Flip Book
This product includes 48 different possible research ideas for your students! This makes an excellent research project idea for Black History Month too! Some of these amazing African Americans are well known- while others are not. There are authors, inventors, civil rights activists, musicians, and more! ( such as…Bessie Coleman, Frederick Douglas, Malcom X, Mary Kenner, George Washington Carver, Billie Holiday, Dr. Patricia Bath, Jesse Jackson, etc.) Your students will LOVE researching and finding out information to include in their flip book. If your students have 1-1 Chromebooks or laptops, I highly recommend this as a project! You can check out this Black History Month product HERE.
