Black History Month
February is Black History Month! Here at
AOPP, we celebrated with small things all month but this week, we went all out.
We dedicated an entire week of activities for our kiddos.
Each day this week, we
visit a different decade and learn one of the dances of that decade, then
afterward, the classes participate in a Black History Month Craft. Monday, we
visited the 1950s. The kiddos learned the Hand-Jive by James Brown and made
paper plate baseballs in honor of Jackie Robinson. Yesterday, we visited the
1960s. The kiddos learned the Twist by Chubby Checker and made gold medals in
honor of Wilma Rudolph. Today, we visited the 1970s and we taught the robot and
bump by Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. The craft today is to décor/color a
jersey in honor of Bill Russell. Tomorrow they’ll learn the Running Man by MC
Hammer and make microphones in honor of Oprah Winfrey. Friday, we’ll have a
Black History Month movie day, and we’ll watch the Princess and the Frog.
