Black History Month

Today the girls picked a name of a famous African American that they will research and teach the class about on their day of sharing.  In their backpack today you will find the name of their famous African American, directions and a record sheet, and an index card to use to make a "trading card".  If extra copies are needed, directions, website links, and record sheets are also posted under "Important Documents" on the right hand side of this page.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Have fun researching!!
