My class loves books. I am continually adding to my classroom library but realized many of the books I grew up reading depicted primarily white characters. I have a very diverse class including White students, Black students, Hispanic students, Russians, Africans, Muslims, foster students, single parented students, and more. Often, these students do not get to "see themselves" in literature. I want my class to be able to relate and learn from literature including many different races, cultures, family types, and special needs. I want students to fall in love with reading even more before going to middle school and I think being able to relate to a book is one way for that to happen!
