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 Students

I have the amazing opportunity of teaching some of the smartest kids I've ever met! These kids have told me that they want to be the president, senators, doctors, and so on and so forth. They've also expressed to me their understanding of how hard they know they are going to have to work to get there.

My students make life so much more enjoyable by just being able to contribute to their educational growth, and I want to make sure I can do any and everything possible to make them successful.

My Project

For our project, we are asking for items for a reading corner. The area will be in the corner of our classroom, and the donations will consist of things to make this area trendy, relaxing, and educational. We need a bookshelf to hold the books that are on our list. The beanbag chairs are very comfy and perfect for reading a good book. The rug and floor lights all add to the reading vibe we are creating. I want to create a learning environment where the students are eager every day to read.

The goal of my reading corner is to improve Lexile Scores and increase participation in the Accelerated Reading program.

The items that I am asking for to complete this project will help create a trendy spot that will be a reward for students for good behaviors, stand-up citizens, and literacy time.
