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 students have a strong desire to read books that they relate to as well as books they can have fun reading and discussing. These books will strengthen the love for reading in my classroom that I strive to create. All of these books have been chosen by my students. My hope is that students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level at home and at school. Many students will benefit from this project being funded. They also need some basic classroom supplies like pencils, a new classroom speaker, and calculators.
