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

Greetings! I am on a mission to create a class library for my 5th graders. As a first-year teacher, I'm dedicated to providing my students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of captivating stories. Currently, our classroom lacks a specific library space, making this initiative even more important. My students are enthusiastic learners and will be eager to receive a class library so they can have independent reading time.

This library will provide a welcoming and enriching space for all students to immerse themselves in stories that resonate with their unique identities and aspirations.

Your generous contribution will help us create a literary oasis, empowering these young minds to explore, learn, and grow through the captivating world of books. Together, we can give these young learners the literary tools they need to thrive academically and develop a lifelong passion for reading. Join me in opening doors to knowledge and imagination for this inspiring group of 5th graders!

In our class library, you'll find a diverse range of books, from well-loved classics like 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' to exciting new titles such as 'Curlfriends: New in Town.' My aim is to blend the familiar favorites that students know and love with fresh and captivating reads, creating a literary space that combines the best of both worlds.
