Help me give my students books which support diversity so that my students see characters just like them and the great differences which have been made in the world, so that all cultures can be celebrated equally!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are very special students! We are a Title l school located Northeast of Birmingham, Alabama. I serve 3rd grade students as their classroom teacher. We are striving to become excellent readers and writers, so as my students' teacher, I am trying to find materials that will help my students achieve this goal.
Meaningful learning is vital to student success in every way and I want to be able to provide experiences that make learning attainable for all of my students.
I try to choose activities that are interesting and relevant to students, as well being able to make personal connections for now and in the future. Many of my students have lived through many obstacles that could set them back, so I try to help empower them and have them realize how strong, intelligent, courageous, and brave they are! Learning is a ticket to growth that I can share and empower my students with and I intend to help them grow in every way possible!
My Project
Each of these books were selected for my students because they support diversity and display cultural differences that I hope to celebrate in our classroom! I want to enhance all of the learning opportunities I can for my students and give my students examples of diversity in history, the present, and to celebrate themselves because they are our future! Each of the books selected represents my students and the diversity that surrounds our classroom each day! I hope to provide my students with opportunities to learn and celebrate diversity in as many ways a possible, and literacy is a great way to engage students in these practices, especially at an early age!
