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
We are a Title I school that offers free breakfast and lunch to all children. Our second grade scholars live in a high poverty neighborhood. Our community is located in an inner-city area. About 85% of our students identify as African American, 5% Latino, 2% White, 1% Asian, and 9% multi-racial.
Labels and test scores do an injustice to our scholars and teachers.
My scholars and I refuse to accept failure. If you could see our children, you would understand that they are full of potential and that they are future leaders and innovators. Our students are perseverant, motivated, enthusiastic, and driven to succeed. We will bridge the poverty gap, and they will achieve!
My Project
Our second grade scholars welcome each new day with excitement and enthusiasm!
We would like to create an environment where their energy is funneled into the wonder of a new, engaging, book that holds their interest and promotes their reading comprehension and fluency skills.
New books, a place to store them, and a comfortable place to sit, are the basic elements needed to foster a love of reading. We are asking for ottomans and wobble stools for flexible seating options. We are also requesting some of the children's favorite series such as; Dog Man, Captain Underpants, Marvel Superheroes, and Bad Kitty to fuel their passion for reading. In addition, the shelves are required to hold these new favorites!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
