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

I am so excited that my students will be participating in the school's Battle of the Books next school year. We need copies of the nominated Black Eyed Susan Books to put on the shelves in the library so that students have them available to check out during the Battle of the Books.

The Battle of the Books will give students an opportunity to participate in a fun and engaging activity that sponsors reading for enjoyment.

Please put these amazing books on the shelves so they are available for my amazing students!

Grades 6-8
