COVID & Diversity Library!

Help me give my students the gift of books to explain our complex world today. These books will provide my students with kid friendly language to explain COVID-19 requirements in public place. Also, teach them diversity/equity!

My Students

In our recent world events, it has left adults scrambling to make sense of our new world and how to navigate these ever changing circumstances. The 250 at-risk students at my school are no different. Books help explain the world to children in kid-friendly language.

My Project

These materials will be utilized by all students at my school! I will be creating a COVID-19 Resource Cart and a Diversity Library for all teachers and staff to use.

Living in our new world with COVID-19 has created many new challenge rules and regulations for kids to understand.

These books were specifically created in kid friendly language to teach children how to navigate our new world.

The Diversity Library is in response to the BLM movement and teaching students about racism, diversity, and inclusion for all people! These books were specifically created in kid friendly language to teach children these complex topics.
