Come down into the comments and let us know how many days are on your countdown!

May is a time

It’s not like October, nothing like March

May is when our tanks are completely empty and we are just trying to survive

Trying to balance things at work

Trying to balance that with things at home

All while juggling a thousand things at one time

This is just a reminder-I see you, I feel you, I’m with you

Teaching in May is a TIME!!😫😂

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month — and it deserves more than a bulletin board.

Our students need to see the full, rich stories of AAPI figures who shaped this country. Not just a name on a poster. The actual person. The actual impact. The actual legacy.

That’s exactly what this resource does.

My AAPI Heritage Month Research Project gives upper elementary and middle school students a deep dive into the lives of influential Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders — through research, quote analysis, and reflection that builds real historical thinking skills.
📌 Here’s what’s inside:
✔ Individual research pages for AAPI figures including Bruce Lee, Amy Tan, and more
✔ Quote analysis prompts that push students to think critically and personally
✔ Biography research components — birth, background, contributions, and impact
✔ US map activity connecting figures to their stories geographically
✔ Print AND digital versions — Google Classroom ready
✔ Perfect for upper elementary and middle school classrooms

This isn’t a worksheet. It’s a window into stories your students may have never encountered — and that’s exactly the kind of history worth teaching.

No prep. High impact. Real representation.
