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

Students are rarely given the opportunity to choose their own reading books, especially in middle school. The books that I am requesting will provide students an opportunity to choose and read diverse books according to their personal interests and reading levels. Students will have classroom access to browse, check out, and return books before, during, and after class. The books have been carefully chosen according to student interests as well as diversity in topics. By giving students a reading choice option, we are working towards the creation of lifelong readers.

Mr. Johns will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by November 21.
