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

The specific books I have requested will revolutionize learning by offering diverse perspectives, expanding horizons, and fostering critical thinking skills. New books will introduce students to a variety of cultures, experiences, and ideas, sparking curiosity and empathy. Access to a broader range of literature will not only enhance literacy but also encourage students to explore new interests and develop a lifelong love of reading.

Building Community: To create a welcoming and inclusive space within the classroom library where students feel empowered to explore, learn, and connect with one another through books and discussions.

Supporting Academic Success: To provide resources that support the academic curriculum and help my scholars succeed in their studies across various subjects.

Preparing for the Future: To equip my scholars with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, where literacy and critical thinking are essential.

My scholars are special because they possess an insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge, making them deserving of a new classroom library to nurture their love for learning.
