Happy Black History Month!! Library Time...

This was the Martin Luther King book display at my local library from last month. I love how my library has so many books about African American History. A very thrifty way to teach your children about their culture is by taking them to the library. Its free, quiet and very resourceful to frequent the library...My oldest daughter suggested that we read a different book on Black History every day this month. There are also many free activities to enjoy...Below is a snapshot I took of the flyer advertising an event I plan to attend next week...

"Soulful stories to tell of strong black towns and communities with life changing history. Powerful stories of a colored hospital; "Bullet" Joe Rogan's no wind up baseball pitches and the foiled bank robbery of Pretty Boy Floyd's boys. History of Black Town's and Communities...Absolutely Soulfully! Join Rhythmically Speaking to celebrate Black History month. "

Check out free programs in your community and visit your local library to attend activities and events that celebrate Black History Month.

Happy Black History Month!!!! :)

A few faves from the library.....

In our home we love reading. My husband and I are both educators so books are all over the place. The girls have their own collection as do we. One of our favorite things to do with our children is to take a trip to the public library. Its free and fun!! In these economic times I am always down for free!! These are a few books I read to my students. I usually read them to my daughters first before taking them to work. Based on their interest and excitement in the books it prepares me for the reaction my students may have. These titles are awesome, bright colors and great subject matter. Visit your local library for great books and exciting programs and activities for the whole family!
