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 are a joy for me because I learn so much from them. I love that despite my students coming from lower-income backgrounds, they come to school eager to learn. Most come from diverse backgrounds, so we have many enriched discussions and educate each other on different cultures and holidays. I believe in a comfortable learning environment and good humor, so we laugh often in my class.

My students have gained a love for Garfield books, so having a variety of these will help to foster a community of endless laughter and literacy!

I requested multiple copies of some books to surprise all of my students with a Garfield book to keep and take home! Louisiana summers are miserably hot and humid, so this will be a meaningful end of the year gift to encourage indoor literacy over their summer break.
