This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our library is a place of fun, excitement, and exploration for students Pre-K to fifth grade. We are a Title 1 school with a high poverty rate located in a large district with very little funding. Our students love to explore and make connections with the real world.
Inquisitive, Ambitious, Energetic, Creative...These are just a few words that describe my students when they visit the library.
My students love the library and I want them to think of it as the center of their learning environment.
My Project
Every year librarians from across the state of Louisiana read hundreds of books for the purpose of choosing the 15 best books written for children in grades 3-5. Louisiana Young Reader's Choice is a reading enrichment program sponsored by the State Library of Louisiana. Students in grades 3-5 are encouraged to read these books in order to be invited to the voting party at the end of February where they will vote on their favorite book. Along with obtaining enough copies for the library I would also like to obtain some paperback copies to give away.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
