Black history is one of the reasons I taught my children at home for the early grades.
Black History Month is wonderful, but I wanted my children to learn about the accomplishments of African-Americans all year round.
When we homeschooled, we learned about so many fascinating people right from the start.
Since I’m passionate about the topic, I still like to share black history resources for educators who observe Black History Month. And that’s why these black history figure coloring pages are so helpful for early grade education!
These are a fun and simple way to introduce students to African-Americans they may not have learned about.
And they’re a great springboard for further research!
