Well, here are my 5 favorite ways to celebrate Black History month with my students. Each of these ideas offers a peek into the past and a glimpse into the future, while presenting the choice offered today. It is important to look at history to learn and grow from mistakes and successes. It is important to take those lessons and map out the future. However, it is just as important to think about the \u201cright now\u201d actions that will get the future plans accomplished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of the ideas presented below allows students to connect the dots between past, present, and future.
