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

I am hoping to add books to our school library to help our students love reading!

I want to add amazing Eric Carle books for our youngest students to read at home with family as well as adding Who Is/Was books which are popular biographies with our older students.

The career books will help young students understand about our community helpers; teachers, doctors, police, and so on.

Reading at home with family and high-interest books are so important for our readers. These books will surely be of interest and will be checked out by our students!

Thank you so much for your help with this project!
