As the Diversity Resource Teacher at Woodbrook, I create daily announcements about African American inventors. The primary level students draw a picture of the invention on a February calendar. The upper elementary students keep a journal that allows for daily reflection. Students answer questions at the end of each week and enter a raffle for an educational prize. We also have a Black Inventor Showcase with contributions from our teaching staff. My second grade class also created inventions to exercise their critical thinking and problem solving skills. I explained to my students that African American inventors had to be incredibly creative and utilize the few resources that they had. Check it out! Feel free to comment!
