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.

Hello everyone and thank you for choosing my letter to read. This is my second year of teaching first grade bilingual children and I love what I do. In our school we serve children who come from low income families. For a while now I have wished for a classroom library for my students. To some extent they have access to books from our school library but usually they can check out only one book at a time for a period of one week. These children come not only from a low income household but also from parents that cannot read in English and even sometimes in their native language, so their exposure to books are very low. Having a library of great books in our own classroom would give these children more opportunities to experience great reading moments and therefore help them learn to read. My wish consists of a collection of classic books, a Dr. Seuss collection and a heavy duty book center. I really think this project will help my 22 children develop and sustain the love of reading.
