Crunchy Life: Tough Cookies

Crunchy Life: Book 3Roses are red, violets are blue, we fight for justice, how about you? In Mr. Leroy’s fifth-grade classroom, students are asking some real-life questions. As a former NFL superstar, Mr. Leroy is going to have to use whatever tools that he can to encourage and motivate his students to continue learning. In most classrooms, the month of February is celebrated with flowers and candy. But for this group of fifth-graders, they don’t have time for all of that fun and fluffy stuff if they are going to pass their end of the year state test. Crunchy and his classmates are finding out out the importance of why doing their best as African American kids is a very important role. They are tasked with uncovering why we even have a Black History Month in the first place. The kids may be in for a big surprise. The students in room 227 are ready to lead by example and learn. Or are they?
