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

These are students in an underserved area that are worth a great education! I believe all students deserve a high quality education. These students are in a low income area within the inner city of Indianapolis. Their fascination and love of learning is incredible to see each and every day. I hope to provide them with as many resources as any classroom in the country and help them to feel that they are worth it, and deserving of a high quality education!

My Project

I would like to encourage reading and grow a love for reading throughout the year! This project will give books to groups of students throughout the year to read and share about important books. These are enjoyable books for 5th grade students that will help foster a love of reading. I hope to use these books as novel studies throughout the year for different groups to read on their own and share. I hope to use these books as novel studies for my students to read on their own in small groups (5-6) they would read and then present a final project on each book, and then student groups would switch books and do the same throughout the year.
