Diversity: One Color Does Not Fit All

Help me give my students diverse stories that connect directly to their own lives.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Inns's classroom raised $207

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in a Title I school, where most families receive assistance due to low-income. All students need access to high quality education and many of my students face challenges on a daily basis.

All my students are unique and deserve the best education possible.

I look at each child individually and I am thankful for the opportunity to support their social, emotional, behavioral, and educational needs.

My Project

Creating a classroom library is not easy! Teaching in a Title I school allows me to consider each child's unique needs. I want to provide my students with shared reading materials that will allow them to connect with the characters or theme.

Reading is my top priority in first grade!

I want my students to experience literature that teaches emotional and social well being. Through literature, students can learn that life is all about choices and that there are many opportunities for the taking. We are unique in our own way!
