February is Black History Month ................

Some ideas for Black History Month in February - read a biography of a different person each day OR simply present a name and have kids find facts about that person.  Have a discussion about the ideas of famous and celebrity.  I recently had an enlightening conversation with a group of Middle School students about those very concepts.  WOW!
There are many activities for all ages surrounding this topic. For older children browse through the Time.com as well as the kidsread site. Check them out.
Some titles to consider -

  1. Bear and I just read "Martin Luther King's Big Words" in celebration of the big day. It's finally snowing here, but nothing like in Pa. We have Bear out on the ice already- never too early to groom him into an ice hockey player ;)
