In addition to what he’s doing in class, I also added these amazing African American ABC flashcards to our educational arsenal. The cards each feature an important person in Black history. I’m actually considering keeping this going and sending Sesame a piece of mail once a week about someone important in Black history.
I’m sure they would love to check the mail and find out about someone new. It might be too late to ask your child’s teacher to do this activity, but you can still write them letters yourself. Julia Terry Hammonds (yarn skein holder).Sarah Goode (first Black woman patent holder for the folding cabinet bed).Mae Jemison (first Black woman to explore space) Sesame only attends school three days a week, so that left us with about 12 class days, since we also had Grandparents Day, which changes the regular schedule. These are the 12 inventors we chose. They see pictures of the person,when we can find them, and they do an activity around that particular invention. We tell them basic facts about the person and what they invented contributed to society. Each day the students receive a letter in the mail from a parent telling them about a Black scientist or inventor. We decided to focus on scientists and inventors. To start I worked with his teacher to incorporate Black history in the curriculum this month. This year we are continuing last year’s tradition, but we will be doing more than reading bedtime stories. Affiliate links help me keep the site running. Last year I decided that we would celebrate Black History Month by reading a book or short story that focused on Black history in some facet.
Even though we incorporate Black history into our everyday lives, I make a bigger deal out of it in February. We’re five days into Black History Month and I thought I’d share how we’re celebrating with Sesame.
