During the Month of February students will be involved in various projects and activities to celebrate Black History Month.
  • Timelines of historical events of the life of one or more influential African American
  • Short skits 2-3 minutes in length based on the life of important African Americans
  • Essays, Short stories, poems about an event or person
  • Power Point Presentations or Publisher Brochures about an event or person
  • Pictures that symbolize historic events or people
  • Magazine Collages that represent historic events or people
  • Songs that represent historic events for people
* During the week of February 23, teachers will utilize books either by or about African-Americans during their SFA and regular classes.  I am going to assume that reading materials as such will be on going throughout the month.

* All final products will be displayed or acted out during our community and parent night, which is scheduled for Thursday February 26, 2004 at 6:00 p.m.  This event will work similar to the Museum night that we had this past school year.  The following day classes will be scheduled for tours of the building. The night will begin in the cafeteria with an introduction and then we will break up into tour groups.

* Each class will have at least 1-2 students that will serve as tour guides during the night of February 26th.  Each chaperone will dress up as a famous African American. They will play some sort of charades game where the audience can guess whose these people are. We will serve finger foods during this event.

In March we are planning a fashion show and dinner with the assistance of Dr. Gaither watch for details.

In April we will be hosting Science and Technology Days in conjunction with the Seneca Park Zoo. Watch for more details.
