YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tameka Williams's classroom raised $595
This project is fully funded
My Students
Our students at our Title I Middle School in North Carolina have undergone a disruption to their learning due to the pandemic. My Social Studies class is filled with 12-13-year-old students. They are a diverse group of students from many different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning levels. My students are compassionate, energetic, and inquisitive.
My Project
When my project is fully funded, my classroom library will be more inclusive and represent the diversity within my 8th grade Social Studies class. This project contains many books written for, by, or about BIPOC and is LGTBQ inclusive. The books will be available for student selection to read in class or at home.
My goal is to help my students fall in love with reading for fun by providing them with books that are of high interest.
Middle School Students want to read about teenagers who have similar experiences to their own, from authors who celebrate their diversity and cultural pride. I want to continue to grow my classroom library, so it adequately represents the wants and needs of my students. I want to place a special emphasis on the people whose stories have not been highlighted typically. Students will learn that reading is not just for English Language Arts Class, but should be incorporated in every discipline. Please help me bring the gift of literacy and diversity to my students.
