As I prepare for the next school year, I've been reflecting on ways that I can make my classroom an even more inclusive space for all learners. Building a strong classroom community is always my top priority. I know that diversifying the literature available to my students is a wonderful way to build community, engage in important discussions, and teach my fourth graders about the beautifully diverse world around them. Children need to see themselves in the books in their classroom and they need to read books that provide a window into another world- another person's experience. Research has proven that students will read when they’re given choice. Your donation will help fill in the gaps in my classroom library with genres and topics that are not represented as comprehensively as others. It is important for students to see themselves reflected in the books they read. Children need opportunities to read "window" and "mirror" books, specifically, books in which they can learn about others as well as books in which they see themselves. Currently, our classroom library is in need of an infusion of books with diverse protagonists and culturally relevant themes. By supporting this project, you are helping me build the empathetic, compassionate, and anti-racist leaders of tomorrow.
