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 students walk and log into school every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. Some of my students walk to school, some are dropped off in a car, and many ride the bus to school. Each day I get to spend with my students is a day I am able to learn and grow from them as well. I am able to see their determination and resilience for everyday life. What I don't get to see every day is the difficult lives my students lead at home. With a population of over 90% of students who qualify for free or reduced-cost lunch, I can only imagine the hardships my students face in the outside world. Despite these hardships, my students come to school with smiling faces and joyful outlooks on life. I am excited to continue on this crazy, energetic, and at times exhausting but incredibly rewarding journey I call teaching.
My Project
Books are such an important tool in a Kindergarten classroom. They can enhance any lesson and lake it to the next level. The books I am requesting go right along with a set of lessons that I use to enhance our Language Arts block in the classroom.
I want to ignite that excitement for reading and learning with my students.
These books are part of the key in creating that excitement. I strongly feel that when students are provided with quality instruction and materials, they buy into the lesson more. They WANT to learn. They WANT to explore. They WANT to discover that love of reading that we all have. I want my students to have a positive relationship with books and a love of reading. These books will help create that love and excitement.
More than half of students from low‑income households
