Top 3 Tips!!! Incorporate Cultural History All Year
February is also the month most make time to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans. Thankfully, this year I was able to reserve all my Black History Month books in advance. We read approximately 20 books this month that focused on Black History. I also found our field trip to the Sixth Street Museum to pair well with our studies since President JFK was so supportive of the Civil Rights Movement.
History is an important topic to teach and each culture’s contributions should be included all year. You can learn my tips for incorporating cultural history throughout the year via my recent YouTube video.
I hope you enjoyed this month’s homeschool wrap-up. You can see more of our daily journey on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Happy Homeschooling,
