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

Thankfully, this school year brought our students back into the classroom. To help catch our students up in reading this year, we dedicated time each day to literature circles. This gave our students a chance to read culturally relevant and engaging books in a small group. During our literature circles, students focused on developing discussion skills, using academic language and practicing comprehension strategies. We are looking to refresh our book options for next year and can continue literature circles.

Having stories with characters that reflect our student body will get students excited about reading.

Also, with multiple sets of books, students have choices on what to read. Having a choice and relatable characters will help get students intrinsically motivated for literature circles. This will help students push through the academic demands this school year will bring.
