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
Year after year I'm blessed and lucky enough to teach and spend my day with the sweetest kiddos alive! I teach in a high-poverty, low-socioeconomic community in Southern Mississippi. Our teachers are the best and the kiddos are just so awesome.
Each day, they step off the bus, ready and so excited to learn.
In my classroom, I try to make learning as fun as possible, but we do not always have the supplies and materials that we need to succeed.
My Project
This project is all about stocking up our first grade classroom library with specific books requested by my little firsties.
My kiddos adore books just as much as I do.
It is my number one goal each year to teach my kiddos to love reading and to really understand the value of books. That is why I want my students to have a say in what books we pick and choose for our class library.
Even though we have some super awesome books in our classroom library, there just never seems to be enough books to go around. My kiddos really had a blast picking and choosing titles such as: If the Dinosaurs Came Back, Iggy Peck Architect, and Dragons Love Tacos Part 2, and they are looking forward to reading them soon! Please consider a donation to our book project.
