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
I am the school librarian at a small elementary school of Pre-K through 5th grade students. This project will target my Pre-K -2nd graders. My students are full of energy and love for me to read to them. They enjoy making predictions about what will happen next in the story.
What makes my students special is that many of them are natural leaders and often help other students work on an activity or volunteer to be library helpers during class.
It's fun to watch their personalities develop as they grow throughout the year. They enjoy coloring, drawing, playing games, listening to stories and analyzing the pictures.
My Project
I am the librarian for a small elementary school. There has not been a permanent librarian in the school for at least three or more years and this is my first year here. We have very little updated library resources for our students to check out at this time. If my school library is funded for this project, I will be able to rebuild our library collection and replace books with the ones that I have weeded. I will also have appropriate grade level books to pair up with my library lessons; and new books to offer to my students.
The materials I am requesting for my students will make a difference in my students just looking at pictures and actually reading.
Many of my students are below reading level and I want to meet them where they are while increasing literacy and inspiring a true love for reading.
