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
My students are at a unique position in school. They are lacking academic vocabulary in their home language, they are not at the reading level of their English speaking peers, and the reading materials in the school library are above their comprehension level. They should have quality reading materials that match their level of comprehension. I hope this project will be the start of a classroom library that will be accessible to all of my students. This way, they can choose books that are interesting and comprehensible. The books in Spanish will help them achieve a more complex reading ability in English as well. Being biliterate is a super power. I just want to help my students access it.
