Black History Month Bellringers
One weeks worth of bellringers paired with videos that celebrate Black History Month! It is important to talk about and celebrate diversity in our classrooms often, but it is great to make this month extra special by incorporating their stories to start each class period. They can simply be used as bellringers, but I recommend having discussions about the videos.
