Diverse Books for a Diverse Classroom

Help me give my students diverse reading books for independent time and read alouds.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thompson's classroom raised $528

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books will help my classroom library become more diverse. The books will be used for independent reading time. Some of the books will be used during our class meeting time working on social-emotional learning on how to accept others who are different from yourself or learn differently. As my school becomes more diverse in the population, I think it is important to give students the opportunity to learn about different populations in the world as well as why some students act differently while they are learning in the classroom.
