Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

Please help me provide my scholars with some new books to help celebrate black history month! I have the honor of teaching young scholars who are developing readers.

I want them to be able to see books that reflect them.

I would love to see my students' faces light up when they are able to see books that tell their stories!

I know that I will be able to help foster a love of reading very early on in their academic careers. Please help me give them the gift of reading!

I am requesting 29 books for my students.

Ms. Young
Grades PreK-2
