My Project

As a 4th grade teacher, I believe every child deserves to see themselves in the books they read. That’s why I’ve carefully selected a variety of books that reflect the diverse identities and experiences of my students. My cart includes stories that feature characters of different races and cultures, as well as books that represent students with learning disabilities.

These books will not only foster a love of reading but also help build empathy, understanding, and confidence in all of my students.

With your support, we can create a classroom library where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired.

Thank you for helping make this vision a reality!
