Firsts in Education



Mr. Allman has asked 5th grade students to search for information on famous African-American educators.
Students will print information that they find on the web about their assigned person, and bring it to social studies class.

How to get started:
Choose a search engine like Google.
Type the name of your person in quotes.
Make sure not to mispell the name!

Example:

"Fanny Coppin"
