My Project

My 3rd grade students attend a small, rural Pennsylvania school. Many of my students come from low-socioeconomic families, and a majority of our school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunches. As educators, we feel that it is our responsibility to not only teach our students to be great learners, but to be great citizens and leaders as well. However, because of curricular constraints, character education is not always given the time it explicitly needs to be taught. We preach kindness, respect and tolerance, but our students desperately need to be taught HOW to be kind, respectful, and tolerant towards people of all cultures and demographics. The children I teach are proud of their varied European heritage, but do not have much exposure to different cultures and parts of the world. Because of that, I highly value literature within my classroom, and I feel that reading is the gateway to inspire future learning!

To teach our children to be tolerant, we need them to truly see and understand the diversity that exists in our world.

Ignorance breeds hate, and to create a more peaceful world, we must invest in educating our children about populations that are unknown to them. They need to see EVERYONE. That's why I am working to create a diversified, multicultural learning library for my students. I'm asking for a classroom set of the book Rechenka's Eggs by Patricia Polacco. The story celebrates the Ukrainian culture through the Pysanka egg tradition. With this book set, my students will be exposed to foreign lands and find an appreciation the Ukrainian people. At a time where their people are experiencing so much adversity, I thought a Pysanka lesson would be a beautiful way to approach the tough topics of war and themes of resiliency with my third graders.
