The materials I am requesting to fund this project will help students understand some of the many levels of diversity in our world. With everything happening in current events, it is essential that we grow our students to achieve a greater appreciation and understanding of the world around us. Books are the gateway into the world, and they help young learners see the ways in which other people live their lives.
I want my students to be able to use books as a mirror so that they can see themselves in stories; to use books as windows to be able to see someone else's life; and to use books as doors so they are able to step into the shoes of someone who has a life much different than theirs. This list of diverse texts will be used to support students as they grow older and wiser. I want them to feel like they have traveled without having left their home or school. Books are a safe way for students to learn. Thank you for considering supporting our project!
