First Grade Representation Library

Help me give my students books in their classroom library with characters that look like them: diverse.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Christie Brown's classroom raised $300

My Project

In our classroom, we have a family mentality. We spend a good amount of time getting to know each others strengths and weaknesses. We spend a lot of time being read to by adults in the building. Our biggest weakness is making sure that we have equal representation in our library center.

It is important to us that we have all of our students represented in the library center where we can pick books that interest us on our own.

Faces light up when we see characters that we can recognize in ourselves.
