My Project

These 2nd graders are always reaching out - curious about new places. I would love for them to go deeper! If they could turn that curiosity toward our school, they would discover that our own school is full of cultures. The diverse books collection covers many of the ethnic and cultural backgrounds in our classroom.

I would like these kids to see the richness represented in our room and to embrace truly seeing each other.

I believe the diverse book collection will open their eyes to what they really have in common and make wonderful cultural connections!
