Culturally Reflective Library
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our classroom is built of diverse students that are capable of perspective-taking, listening to other people's stories, and exploring the ways that we as citizens of the world have an obligation to reach out and help others.
My students don't want to wait until they're older to bridge differences, they do it now. They are able to perspective-take and discuss the ways our culture shapes our perspective, including naming the varied aspects that go into constructing an Identity. My kids are invested in learning to work together by respecting what makes us each unique individuals and committed to making the world a new and more understanding world.
My Project
My classroom is comprised of a diverse group of kiddos and I want to make sure that all the books that are offered in the library are reflective of this diversity and are inclusive of all the type of people represented in my classroom community.
Literature is a wonderful way for these culturally aware kids to hear other's stories as well as having their own stories affirmed. Having a diverse offering of authors, characters, and situations better reflects the world we live in. Especially in these times where certain populations are being marginalized, I want to ensure that all of my students feel reflected by our classroom library and feel empowered to share their stories.
This classroom project was brought to life by The First Million Fund
