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

The students in our classroom are vibrant, excited and eager learners! These first grade students are full of dreams and goals that they want to achieve in the future! The library is one of their favorite places in the classroom to be. There is a safe and encouraging atmosphere in our class library. Students know they can be successful and enjoy their reading there. Each of the books selected were done so with them, their smiles, and ever growing reading abilities in mind. These books will excite them about reading and push them to dig deeper into what they are reading!

My Project

Thank you for choosing to support our classroom! First grade is crucial to developing a student's confidence and accuracy in their reading. They work on skills that will help them become strong and successful readers no matter where they go! Your contribution has already made a significant impact in shaping our readers as they become the future of tomorrow!

We will be using the books you donate to our classroom to learn important reading skills like identifying characters, setting, problem/solution, and so many more!

But most importantly, the books you provide will help to make reading fun! When students get their hands on books, characters, and stories they enjoy it is hard to keep them from reading! Each morning we read a story aloud together and they are able to see how and what a good reader does. They are then able to practice in small groups, with partners, and on their own. A crucial part of this is that students have access to books that are "just right" for them and that is where you come in!

Thank you so so much for your generosity and for choosing our class to support!
