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

Student's at our school love to learn! They enjoy reading, but sometimes struggle to read on grade level. They are into sports and technology. We are a one-to-one school, so children are able to learn electronically. They enjoy researching and exploring apps.

Our school has a wonderful school-wide community.

We are like a family and everyone watches out for each other. It is not uncommon to see an older student helping a kindergartener tie their shoe in the hallway.

My Project

We are looking for books that will encourage deep thinking between students. We want students to be able to discuss stories and form opinions or theories based on their reading.

The books we are requesting will provide opportunities for students to have deep discussions.

These books leave much to the imagination and encourage students to infer and use their knowledge to make predictions. We are working on teaching students to listen to other students and respond to their thinking by adding on to their thoughts. We believe these books will encourage this type of conversation and thinking with our students.
