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

I teach very bright and enthusiastic fifth graders. They enjoy exploring the world through the eyes of the characters and figures in stories we read daily. My scholars love read aloud books, novel studies, hands-on projects and arts-integrated activities. I hope to increase the love for independent reading. Our ultimate goal is to prepare our students to be critical thinkers and lifetime learners as they move forward in their academic careers.

Every day we are working to increase rigor, student engagement, and foster a love for reading, math, science, and social studies.

Excellence truly begins with us and we want to provide the best for our scholars.

My Project

My fifth grade scholars love to read. This is evident, as we have maintained a position in our school's top three Accelerated Reader classes. I would like to continue this effort and provide my current/future students a comfy, cozy area for independent and paired reading.

With your help, my students will be provided the furniture to create a classroom library and further foster their love for reading.

We are asking for a futon, two bean bag chairs, a rug, and a small coffee table. These items would be cheerful and welcome additions to our currently non-existent library space.

I am certain that the addition of this furniture will further motivate my scholars to dive into the wonderful world of literature.
