What do teachers say about Black History Month Songs?

I purchased this for the Louis Armstrong song but was very impressed with the other songs. Every year I struggle to find something my kids can easily do for our school's Black History Month program, not this year. :) These songs were a lifesaver for our Black History Month program. I plan on teaching my kids many of the other songs in future years. -STEPHANIE W.

This has been such a fun way to teach Black History! I was very nervous of how I could teach my Pre-K students in a fun way that they would understand. We do a song each week and they have been loving them so far! I am going to continue these songs until the end of the year! -Emily S.
