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

I teach in an urban, high-poverty area, where access to materials is often limited.

My students are truly wonderful, and they really strive to do their best.

They are eager to learn. It is my job to give them challenges and tools and to guide them on their journey.

My Project

My students start every class with the chance to read a book that they have chosen. Allowing students to choose what they can read really allows them to buy into the idea of reading. Once they have bought into the idea, there is no stopping them! Just the other day, I had a student request more independent reading time, and the rest of the class agreed!!! They are already looking for the next thing to read! I am always trying to make sure that my students have books that they will want to read in the classroom.

Allowing students to have choice in what books that they read is so powerful.

They love that they are able to make choices about what they get to read! These books will allow my students to take a break from the chaos all around them, while at the same time increasing their independent reading skills.
