Celebrations Around the World Books

Help me give my students access to holiday and seasonal books of various cultures and religions. This will help expose my students to different traditions and celebrations, other than their own.

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

My students love our holiday book bin that rotates with each new holiday and season. It is something they always look forward to!

I would love to introduce new books about holidays students may otherwise not be familiar with, such as Holi, Ramadan, and Passover.

I believe it is important for everyone to be educated on celebrations held world wide. This way, we are able to celebrate our differences and what makes each culture unique!

My students would be so excited to have our holiday and seasonal book bin be filled with new books! Thank you so much for your support!
