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

With the pressure to read because of high stakes testing, students are overwhelmed and anxious about reading. I want students to realize that you can read for fun, or to learn, or simply because you want to.

This diverse library will help foster an excitement for reading and a natural desire to want to read.

Student will be able to relax, reflect and enjoy reading time!

My students are special because each one of them are capable of something great, reading can be used to inspire and motivate their greatness!
