My Project

Hello! Please help me give my students and future students the opportunity to read and look at books that reflect the world around them. It is my wish that these books be in our library and used regularly for the student to have 100% access to. Books are sacred, and my students in particular LOVE books. It is my wish to give them books that showcase inclusion, kindness and love. I plan on including these books this NOT just for the month of February; but during the whole school year. I have been purchasing books from my own pocket and these books have been on my list for quite some time! It would be so special to have these books in our class! My students have been loving books where the children in the book look like themselves, each other and their teachers.
