My Students
Our school is filled with incredible students who love to come to school every day! They are such happy individuals with so much empathy and curiosity! The staff at our school learns as much from the students as the students do from us about life and the world.
My students bring many different cultures from around the world into our classroom every day, creating a rich and deep learning learning environment.
It is an amazing environment to teach about diversity because it is so evident. I am truly indebted to my students for all they teach me about life and their culture.
My Project
These books are filled with lots and lots of diverse characters that represent are students cultures. We want our students to see themselves in our libraries when they are book shopping and be motivated to read about these characters.
At this time of the year in first grade, students are getting in to characters series books and all of these books selected have multiple books on the same characters.
We will use these books in book clubs during reading to gain knowledge about traits, lessons and theme.
These books will be used across our first grade classrooms and hopefully loved and read by all students
More than half of students from low‑income households
