Using Elmo During the Black History Month School Celebration

ELMO is cool!!!!! Our school celebrates Black History Month basically by making the children visit the different centers the teachers prepared. My students visited the following centers: Madam CJ Walker, astronaut center, and inventions.

Maximizing the historical opportunity of Barack Obama’s election as the first black President, my buddy class and I prepared a Barack Obama center. Using my Elmo, one of the major activity in our center was giving each child an opportunity to pretend to be Barack Obama. Using the Elmo, the excited “young Barack Obamas” looked at the screen projecting what the Elmo captured. It was an awesome experience watching the children do this activity. I’m very thankful for having been given the opportunity to use this technology equipment in a meaningful celebration of the Black History month.
