Social Studies/African Americans

Social Studies

Since this has been Black History month, the first graders have been learning about a lot of famous African Americans.  During this unit of study, your child will learn about:

•  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.                                                                                         
•  Phillis Wheatley
•  George Washington Carver                                                                                       
•  Daniel Hale Williams
•  Harriet Tubman                                                                                                          
•  Booker T. Washington
•  Jackie Robinson                                                                                                          
•  Effie Lee Newsome
•  Wilma Rudolph                                                                                                 
•  Mary McLeod Bethune

Ask your child what they remember about these famous people.  We made a large envelope to keep all of our papers in as we study these individuals.  Our plan is to be finished by conference time so you can take the envelope home.  We have also learned about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
