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

As my school's librarian, I was lucky enough to go to a conference recently. The speaker talked about getting students engaged in reading and ways to incorporate more reading into the school day. One of the suggestions was to create classroom libraries. These classroom libraries could be used when a lesson ended early, or even if there was a substitute teacher for the day.

Students who read a mere six minutes a day increase their literacy and become stronger students.

The goal is to create classroom libraries, where every classroom in the building (math, science, social studies, etc) have books that students could use throughout the day. This idea is not a replacement for our school library, but in addition to the resources already available.

While we look for books to use, we will need a place to store the books within each classroom. These storage containers included in this project will be labeled with classroom numbers and distributed to staff at the beginning of the next school year. This initiative has a lot of planning and preparation, and storage containers are essential in making our dream a reality.
