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

My classroom is located in a Title I, urban school and district. The students here are very eager and outgoing. They love to learn and although we don't always have the resources, I love teaching them how to be creative, resourceful, and to think outside the box!

My Project

With everything in the world moving at such a swift, technologically advanced pace, students have started to lose their love for reading. It is difficult to get students to sit still and actually read a physical book on their own. However, if our classroom library presents them with books that they find enjoyable, entertaining and relatable, it is my hope that they can find their love for reading again. I am sure my students would enjoy this selection of books and we are very appreciative of your donation to our classroom.
