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
My students are a fun, supportive and encouraging group. Classroom community is very important to them and they spend time actively trying to make a positive difference in each other’s lives. I am attempting to make a positive difference in all of their lives and I need your help to do it. I teach middle school social studies and reading is the core of our curriculum. I am hoping to build a classroom library that my students can enjoy and look forward to every day.
Thank-You!
My Project
All students must read but not all students like to read. This selection of books is on the top 10 voter lists from eighth-grade students across the nation. Within this selection are not only classics, such as The Outsiders, and To Kill a Mockingbird, but also more recent popular reads like The Hunger Games, This One Summer, The Book Thief, Divergent, and Percy Jackson. These are books that students will enjoy reading during brain breaks, during their free time, and when they finish assignments early.
This student-choice library will change students' reading habits and help them become lifelong readers. If presented with the opportunity, students will be encouraged to read for pleasure and fun!
