Teacher Resources

In celebrating African American History Month, we hope you will participate in our advisory and lunch activities TBA this week.

Advisory: African American History Quilt: Participating teacher will receive a class set of a quilt “template” for each student. Students are to research one influential African American person in our history, or an historical event that was related to African American History.

• A list of people/events have been provided for each advisory. To avoid multiple, repeated people/events, a list has been provided for your class to choose from. An alphabetized list is available on our school website (link BELOW) so you can see the entire list.
• Students can choose someone NOT on the COMPLETE (school) list, with your approval – DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO CHOOSE FROM ANOTHER ADVISORY’S LIST.
• Allow students until early next week to complete. Then tape or glue your quilt squares to create a class quilt to be displayed in MacKenzie Hall.
• Add ONE or more quilt squares that include: Teacher name, class room, a title of the project, etc. in order to fill in enough spaces to have a completed (rectangular/square) quilt. 
• ** SUGGESTION: COUNT THE NUMBER OF QUILT SQUARES AND DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF SQUARES YOU NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE QUILT BEFORE TAPING/GLUING.
