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 Students

I teach Elementary Art at a Title I school in a low income area, so my scholars come from all walks of life. This is my fourth year teaching, and while the actual job is extremely exhausting, those kids are so special to me. I teach because of those kids and the relationships I have built with them. My scholars are so excited to learn everyday, and I want them to have the best learning experience as possible!

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich art classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these. I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
