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 Students

As an intervention teacher, I work with students in grades K-5. Our school is in its third year, so we are still acquiring resources for the students and have not yet opened a library media center. Many of the students are ELL and from low-income families so they do not have English reading materials at home. We began this school year with K-3 at school each day and grades 4-5 in hybrid classes. We just changed to all students distant learning due to COVID-19. It is more important than ever to provide high-interest books for the students to borrow while they are at home.

My students love to read about diverse characters and super heroes!

My Project

My students are learning how to read English and want books about super heroes and diverse characters. Unfortunately, many of them do not have books of their own at home. These books are beginning readers and easy chapter books that they will enjoy reading! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all of our students are now learning from home. Home deliveries have been arranged so that students can have these books delivered to their homes to read and then returned to switch books. This will help them continue to develop their vocabulary, reading skills, and love of reading.
