Black History Month Online Resources

Black History Month (February) is worth recognizing in any classroom because of the significance that many African American men and women have had on our country over the years. It is also important for our students to discuss how the course of history has changed because these strong men and women stood up for what they believed in and made a difference in the world around them.



There are many websites that talk about Black History month that would be great to use in your classroom with your students. Some of these websites are:

If you are looking for some people to mention as you discuss Black History month, have students research or discuss leaders such as

  • Barack Obama
  • Rosa Parks
  • MLK Jr.
  • Ruby Bridges
  • Nelson Mandela
  • Harriet Tubman
  • Jackie Robinson
  • Langston Hughs
  • George Washington Carver
  • Sojourner Truth
  • Harriet Beecher Stowe
  • Bessie Coleman.  
If you need more names, you can find a list of 500 influential men and women here.

**If you need research guides for your students for some names mentioned above, feel free to check out my Black History Month Webquest Set.

Keep Learning,

Build Your Wild Self {Animal Adaptations}

Build Your Wild Self  was a site that I just stumbled upon, but was probably one of my students favorite activities that we did all year. Basically, students are able to create themselves by playing with their body, hair, eyes, mouth, clothes. They can then make themselves "wild" by adding headgear, ears, face, arms, bottoms, backsides, and tails that are all body parts of wild animals. This activity isn't all fun though - there is educational value too! Once the students are done creating their "wild self" they will click I'M DONE. This will take them to the next page where it will explain to the students what is "wild" about them. It will tell them where their wild parts came from and why those parts are important to the survival of that particular animal. So there you have it - educational and a ton of fun! Just wait to see what kind of creatures your students come up with! It will be entertaining, I guarantee you that much. Try it ou

Welcome!

Hi y'all! This is a first for me and I am excited for you to join on this journey with me. I recently began my TPT journey after 3 years in the classroom. I was hired as a 6th grade math teacher, but quickly fell in love with technology and took a job as an Educational Technology Specialist my second year teaching. I spend most of my days educating little minds and putting together resources that my teachers can use in their classrooms. I am always creating lessons for my classes so I figured, why not share what I am doing with others. I always love the lessons and resources that I find on TPT from other teachers, so I hope that I can do the same for some of you.  I will post freebies here that won't be available in my TPT store so make sure that you subscribe to my blog. I will also use this blog to write about my products and share about how they work in my classroom. I look forward to this adventure with you.  - Hilary
