Using these pages
Coloring isn’t always just a time filler!
It can be an opportunity to work on fine motor skills. Also, it can act as a stress reliever for some students.
When looking at these pages I have created, coloring can also provide students with an opportunity to learn.
The pages will introduce students to a famous Black American. Plus, you can choose to extend the learning.
Encourage students to research the focus of the page they are coloring. They can fill the background with interesting words and facts that they learn.
If your children are really ambitious, they might continue this work on the back using more words and even their own pictures.
