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 are bright, full of energy, and they love school! They will walk into my classroom in the fall with a zest for learning and I do my best to ensure they continue to have that passion for learning by the end of the year! I am always amazed by how much they have learned and grown!
They walk in the door every day with a smile on their faces and ready to learn!
The students at my school are from single-parent, low socio-economic homes who receive three free meals daily. I firmly believe that a child's background does not predict his/her future.
Our school has limited funds to provide valuable materials to help my students reach their full potential. My hope for my students is to have access to valuable resources to develop their literacy skills and get them ready for 2nd grade!
My Project
As a teacher, I strive to bring excellent literature to my students. My students need to be exposed to interesting books. I am requesting a variety of high interest read aloud books so that I could expand the books I have available for our "Race to Read" challenge! My kids love read alouds more than any other part of the school day. They beg me to read more books to them. They could even listen to the same books read over and over again because of the high interest! I have carefully chosen books that my students will absolutely love. I am asking for funny books and books with diverse characters. I want my students to see that they are readers. They will learn key skills as I bring these amazing books to life!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
