I love studying Black history. And I think it’s important for children to focus on anti-racism and begin learning about Black history from a young age.
I like to have Black history books available throughout the year. But I still like to have an extra focus during February, often referred to as Black History Month. So I designed a Black history unit that can be used in February or at any time of year. I also have a new Montessori-inspired Black history pack for our newsletter subscribers’ resource library. The printables can be used at any time as well. You’ll find many resources here for Martin Luther King Day, too!
You’ll find Montessori-inspired Black history numbers, letters, and and more (part of my subscriber freebie pack, so just sign up to get the link and password … or check the bottom of your latest newsletter if you’re already a subscriber)
You could mix your Black history themed activities among your shelves according to curriculum area. Or you could have a special Black history themed area something like the one pictured. My shelves at the beginning of our unit have a mixture of skill levels. Many of the activities can be adapted for a variety of levels. Many of these are designed for early elementary as well as preschoolers. If you’re a homeschooler, just choose the activities that work for your child’s interests and ability levels. If you don’t have room for all the activities you’d like to do, simply rotate them.
