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

Our academy is a new school moving on to its third year! As the one and only ELA teacher I have had the privilege and joy of teaching high academic achieving students. As a new school, we have limited library resources and I would love for my students to have more choices!

With these new book collections, my students will be able to choose from a variety of genres, characters and themes that will allow them to read independently and connect to them on a personal level.

Students would be able to fall in love with reading and begin to become lifelong readers. My students have already begin to fall in love, with some already reading the majority of my library. With the help of this project, students will be able to fall in love with all different types of books.
