Learning About Black History Month!

Help me give my students books to read about famous people in black history for Black History Month!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $171

My Project

My little readers are always looking for new and exciting books to read in the classroom. We have a lot of fun books, but most are higher than their reading level. I would love to add some holiday-specific books to our classroom library.

These books about famous people in black history will be a great addition to our classroom read aloud library during Black History Month, not just for reading but to learn about important events in history.

Each season, month, or holiday, I would like to have books related to the holiday. This will allow my students to have a better understanding of the seasons and holidays, along with just finding joy in reading a book of their liking.
