Black History for K-2

Ever hear of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum?  There are PBS resources for younger learners (their tagline is that everyone was a kid once!).  In addition to the short video there are downloadable materials (sentence starters, biographical information, etc).  Here are the links to George Washington Carver and Nora Neale Hurston.

Celebrate all Black History

In this blog post from Edutopia, Hedreich Nichols suggests we broaden our view of black history to include less known (though widely renowned) individuals.  She provides several suggestions to help you add to your students' understanding of achievements outside of Dr. King and Rosa Parks (the two names I hear mentioned most in classrooms).

Black History in Math Class

This was an interesting article from Middle Web from Mona Iehl.  I can relate to her desire to show students the wide range of mathematical talent and more importantly, that they are represented in that group.  She offers several suggestions to merge cultural awareness with math.

Google and Black History Lesson Plan

As part of the last Google newsletter, I saw this set of Black History lessons. All lessons use Google tools from slide presentations to flyers.

Famous African Americans

I saw this site reviewed in Teachers First (you can see it here) and it looks perfect for grade 6-12 students. You will find biographies from  A. Philip Randolph to Zora Neale Hurston and many more in between.  Each article includes an image but there are advertisements.  You might want to extract information from the site before sharing it with your students.

PBS recently shared this site with information on Black leaders.  You might want to consider for Black History Month (or any history time!).  They have selected notables from a variety of genres- journalism, poetry, sports, and more!
