For Black History Month:
Awesome book about Oklahoma Civil Rights Pioneer, Clara Luper!
Need something to do on Zoom for Black History month? Share the amazing story of Oklahoma's own, Clara Luper. The book is a great way to engage and inspire your students during this important month. And what better way to engage than to tell the story of an Oklahoma City teacher and her students? For extra fun, have your students research and find out amazing stuff about Clara Luper. She only died just a few years ago. Her amazing life was filled with a lot of time giving to her community, state, and nation. And she was a big OKC Thunder fan!
There is a great read along for the book on Youtube. Click on the link here: https://youtu.be/VWbjU5nYyw0.
