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

Empathy can be taught through literature and the world today needs more empathy. Adding these new books to my classroom library will give my students the opportunity to increase their empathy toward others.

Preparing my students to be productive citizens who care about all who live in their world means providing them with literature that will help them become more open-minded and accepting individuals.

My students should be able to see themselves in the books they read so that they can make connections to the literature. I have a wonderful group of students from many cultures. I want a classroom library that represents who they are.
