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 are a very inquisitive and talented group. Giving them the opportunity to explore the world through books will not only be impactful for them but rewarding for you the donor and myself as their teacher. My students are in need of a classroom library that has a variety of titles, is diverse, and also inclusive for all students regardless of reading level. These books will allow students to make independent selections during their reading times. The goal of this project is to allow my students to explore a variety of perspectives. Students can sit in the comfort of our classroom on the stools and yoga ball chairs, and get to explore different parts of the world via books. The students that I have the privilege of teaching are being instructed in a Title 1 school. They are resilient, ready to learn, and full of life.
