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

Please help me get more non-fiction books into our school library. We are in need of more high interest books in every non-fiction section. My students love a good story. More importantly, they love a true story.

These books will help me inspire the next generation of inventors and creators.

Kids are just naturally curious; When students are engaged and excited, they become readers for life. My students love non-fiction books about the things they are interested in! These books about inventors will give my students the knowledge they seek and boost their own curiosity for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
