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 am an elementary school librarian in a hidden gem of a school in inner-city Baltimore, MD! My students are enthusiastic learners with a passion and love for reading, storytelling, building, and creating!
I am looking to build a STEAM-based, literature-rich, project-based learning environment that fosters that love of literature and learning!
My Project
As an inner-city school librarian, I served various students in grades pre-k-5 with very little district funding!
My biggest goal this year is to fill our shelves in our brand new 21st-century building with favorites for all ages with enough copies to allow more than one student to enjoy each title at a time!
Graphic Novels are a massive hit amongst students of all ages! The comic book format is engaging and enticing and encourages even the most reluctant readers to read honestly! Even my most resistant readers are begging me to bring these titles into the library! The Baby Sitters Club brings families together as a nostalgic favorite of parents from the 80s and a graphic novel favorite of kids today!
