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
I would like to provide some newer books for my students to read when they are interested in reading about climate change. Several of them have expressed an interest in the topic and our classroom library is lacking in books that directly address that topic.
It is not in our curriculum, exactly, but climate change is a factor these kids will be dealing with for the rest of their lives.
I'd like to give them some books to read about the subject so that, perhaps, we can start discussing the nuance between it being hot out today and climate change. It's a big topic for kids (and adults) to understand so getting them started with some simple in-class reading now might help lay groundwork for the issues they're going to face and how climate change will change their lives.
