Help me give my students a more diverse classroom library to expand their knowledge. I have worked hard to create a vast classroom library. However, I could use some more books to add diversity for them to choose.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cannon's classroom raised $759

My Project
This list is to try to diversify my classroom library for my amazing fourth grade students. We have a diverse community and I would love for the library in our classroom to reflect that.
There is very little to compare to when a student finds joy in reading.
This intensifies when the books are like them.
I scour library sales, yard sales, buy nothing groups, and thrift stores for books for my classroom library. However, the level of books that represent all cultures are lacking. I want to bring the world cultures to my students through their reading choices. I have chosen some chapter books and graphic novels that will begin to round out my classroom library nicely.
Thank you so much for helping to make my students more knowledgeable about the cultures around them!
More than half of students from low‑income households
