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

Help me give my students the joy of writing by using strong mentor texts to see exactly how a story is structured. These mentor texts will illustrate what good writing looks like.

Teachers will be able to check out these books and use them as examples to see what good writing looks like.

Teachers may also use these materials to support literacy instruction as well. Students will see firsthand what expository, or how to books look like. They will be able to write without fear by example.

I want to be able to provide enough resources in our building for every teacher to have these read-alouds available and in their hands daily.
