Black History Month: Barack Obama Unit Study

Preschool–Middle School | Rooted & Ready

This Black History Month Unit introduces students to President Barack Obama and combines devotional-style lessons with engaging activities, making it perfect for Black History month or year round homeschool learning. But this unit is about more than history.

It also helps families talk about:

• dignity

• respect

• justice

• and standing against racism

Because how we speak about others—and especially our leaders—matters. Mocking or demeaning people because of their race is unacceptable, and our children need to be taught to recognize and reject that kind of behavior. This unit helps start those conversations in an age-appropriate, character-focused way.
