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 Students
Our library is a learning hub in our small, rural school of about 325 students. Here they are exposed to a variety of books, technology, activities, and resources to encourage their diverse interests and fuel their love of reading.
My students are incredibly eager to read more about holidays around the world and we need newer and more diverse books in this category!
They are continuously requesting more and newer holiday books in our library!
Over 90% of these 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. There is also a growing population of bilingual families in our community.
The COVID pandemic has created a growing gap in what level they are reading on and what level they should be reading on. But they are EAGER and continuously request more holiday books!
My Project
The world around us is changing rapidly and my students want to learn more about their cultures and other cultures in our community. They are eager to explore cultural diversity, specifically in holiday celebrations.
We need newer and more diverse books about holidays and traditions celebrated in different cultures to add to our library!
My students want to understand more about how and what other people groups celebrate during the year. By donating to our project, you will not only help to encourage their love of reading, but you will also increase their awareness of the people around them!
