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

Think of the books that you're reading now. Chances are you didn't start reading a book of that size when you were young. Imagine if you were four years old and didn't have access to books on a regular basis to develop that love of reading.

We are a Title 1 school in a rural part of South Carolina.

My classroom is comprised of ten special-needs preschoolers, but more students are added throughout the year. Students enter the classroom at the age of three. To qualify, there must be evidence of a special need that early intervention can benefit. We are a welcoming and loving classroom. My students exceed my expectations daily. They just need the love and resources to thrive.

My Project

These books will serve a few functions. First of all, they will be read during our large group times. Here, I read aloud and for many of my students, this is the only time they will be read to. Read-alouds promote vocabulary and reading comprehension, both of which are essential for success in upper grades. These books are also placed in our reading corner as an activity of choice during centers. I want to show students that reading is fun. In this center, students often "read" to one another. This teaches cooperation and allows students to retell the story in their own words. Retelling allows students to demonstrate that they understand what is being read.

Many of my students have had a rough start in the first few years of life, but I believe they deserve more than that.

The parents that I work with are wonderful parents trying to provide for their children in the best way that they can. However, there is often not a lot of extra money to be spent on books.
