Mrs. Benedict’s Classroom Edit display name

As we hear more and more about injustice in our country, I think about the students in my classroom. They are a diverse group. What can I do to make a difference for them and help them be a part of the solution? I realized that most of the books in my classroom featured white characters. My students need to see characters that reflect who they are and who they want to be. I have picked a mix of books that not only reflect diverse characters, but also have uplifting messages of hope and encouragement. Please help me give this gift to my students, so they can pick up books and be delighted by the pictures of themselves they see in the books!
