My Project

In Kindergarten, we read a new book EVERYDAY! I am always looking for books that reflect my diverse class. Books that have characters and settings that my students can relate to.

It is extremely important for my students to see themselves in the books that we are reading in class!

I want my students to feel seen and welcomed as we learn new topics each week.

My book list has diverse main characters from all around the world and topics that in will help teach my students about different cultures, families and people.
