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

There is one thing that my students and I do every single day without fail. We read a book. Every single day my students join me during circle time and we talk about our book of the day. We look at the cover, we talk about the author and what might have influenced them to write the book.

The time spent during circle time reading with my student is the highlight every day not only because they are learning but because we are building relationships.

This project will not only provide us with books for our library but also give the students reading books on their level. Thank you for taking the time to change the lives of students!
