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 library is the heartbeat of literacy in a school. The students at my school love to read, but we can't afford to buy many popular current titles that the students want to read the most. My students love non-fiction science, math, and social studies books that support STEM/STEAM.

The Title I students at my school come from a lower Socioeconomic status than other students in our parish, but their dreams are just as big.

They just need help getting the resources they need to build their love of reading and advance their love of science.

My Project

I am an elementary librarian at a Title I school. Even my youngest students get excited when they learn about science and social studies in the classroom. I wish to extend their classroom learning experience by providing science and social students books for emerging readers.

The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library delivers science in an engaging manner that appeals to young readers.

They learn and have fun with the colorful illustrations and delightful text. Other books from this series have proven popular to my elementary patrons and appeal to reluctant readers. They are selected and checked out as soon as they placed on the shelves.
