The children in my kindergarten class are absolutely exceptional. Each day the students come in with a passion for reading that inspires me as a teacher. I want to provide my students with books that a representational of our diverse student population. I want to add to my library books that will teach love and appreciation for all.
My Project
My students love read alouds! Either through remote learning or in person, it is a favorite part of my lessons. Read alouds also help students connect with themselves and explore emotions and ideas. Unfortunately, many of the books in our classroom do not match the diversity in our school.
I would like for my students to be able to see themselves and their families in books.Not only is it important for them to see themselves, but to also learn about other cultures that are different than their own.
I plan on using these books for read alouds and independent reading so that students can be aware that our differences are what makes us special.
