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

Many of our student are new to America and the stories of their journey and culture should grace the bookshelves of our classroom. They will get a chance to share unique stories that will live on for many years to come. With the use of the Cricut machine students will design one of a kind artistic covers and chapters. Using the scrapbooking pages will provide a unique touch to the different chapters.

Classmates will get the opportunity to use written language to get to know more about one another.

Their books will encompass different parts of their lives. With these stories students will grow in there writing and delve into what makes them who they are.
