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

My goal is to create a love for stories, characters, and reading by building a diverse library for my Kindergarten class. I wholeheartedly believe that once a child is able to read their ability to learn is limitless. This is especially important for my students.

One hundred percent of my students are living in poverty and have heard fewer words than their peers during their first 4 years of life.

This lack of exposure directly impacts their academic success and well-being. They deserve to fall in love with reading and dream big!

Please believe in our potential by donating to our classroom library!
