My Project

I love my students to the moon and back. Every day I am greeted by 21 first graders who are eager to see what Mrs. Robinson has planned for them today.

My students need books that feature children just like them, African Americans.

I want to put books in their hands where they can see themselves.

My students love to be read to and some are already reading on their own. I can just see their little faces when they can see children in books that look just like them.
