📚 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Don't limit Black history to February. These cards belong on your shelves year-round. When studying space, pull out Mae Jemison. During poetry units, share Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou. Studying inventions? George Washington Carver and Madam C.J. Walker. This normalizes Black excellence as integral to every subject, not a separate "special month" topic.
