See what our teachers are doing to celebrate Black History Month
Black History in STEAM- We are going to do a Think Law lesson on Black inventors. Students will learn about the inventors and what they engineered and think about how things would be different in our world if we didn't have those inventions in our life. We will discuss the problems the Black inventors solved and then the students will think of some current problems they could try to solve.

Media - Next week, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, I will be talking about Black History Month. I am going to pair them up and they will be going around the room with an ipad to scan the QR code and watch these videos to learn about historical figures. Here is the Canva link. if you want to look through the different people that will be shared.
