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 have selected some amazing and renowned titles to build my PreK students' at home libraries!! I hope you can help me send some banned and beautiful books home with my scholars!!

Make a difference, see yourself in a book, change the world!

These books will open my scholars minds to the many possibilities in the world. The titles I have selected will entice the readers, enthrall the beginning readers and engage all the lovers of books in my class.

Thank you for taking the time and sending some love our way!
