Black History Month

I know this is a little late but here are some of our activities for Black History Month.  

For our school wide African American Read-In, the primary classes created a diversity quilt to display. Here is our quilt.

We read a lot of stories, but our favorite was The Story of Ruby Bridges.  The story really had an impact on my students.  They could not believe that a little girl their age could be so brave!  This was a fantastic refresher on character traits.  

Since we are in the middle of a Letter Writing Unit we wrote letters to Ruby.  After an easy, little craftivity, they made a cute display!

I made the templates for the craftivity.  If you are interested in them, let me know!
