Black History Project












Parents and Students:
Now that you have the name of your famous African- American, it’s time to begin your research and get started on your cereal box! Remember that we are looking for you to be creative. Use your very best handwriting or type your information. Everything you put on your cereal box must be created by the student. You should not copy information from your sources; make sure you put it in your own words. Please do not use notebook paper on your cereal box. Creativity and neatness are especially important for this assignment. We expect to see evidence of hard work! These cereal boxes will be used as decorations for our program and will be an important part of your Social Studies grade for these nine weeks. Have fun learning about the contributions of these great Americans! If you have any questions, as always please email or call me. Projects are due on Feb. 27th.


You will see an example of the cereal box in the picture.

Black History Month


Hey kids,



As you are aware, it's Black History Month! We celebrate our heritage during the month of February and throughout the year. It is the time of year to honor African-Americans like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, Sojourner Truth, Wilma Rudolph, Tiger Woods and many many others in our American history. Keep fulfilling your dreams, like many other African Americans in our history. Let the history of great people empower you to be the best that you can be!
