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
Our library is a learning hub in our small, rural school of about 350 students. Here they are exposed to a variety of books, technology, activities, and resources to encourage their diverse interests. They are continuously requesting more and newer books in our library! When I can fill their specific requests, their excitement for reading grows and they are more motivated to read!
All of my students, both boys and girls alike, are begging for more books about fishing, hunting, camping, and adventures in the great outdoors to circulate through our library!
They ask me daily for nonfiction books to learn from as well as fiction to read stories about these types of outdoor adventures. Many of them hunt and fish locally, but others are just as interested in the sporting and the skill.
Over 90% of our students are from lower-income families, single-parent families, and receive free lunch in our Title I school. A large number of our student population lives between houses of different family members. Our school is located in one of the most rural parts of our county and most are at least twenty minutes away from the nearest public library.
