Help Us Celebrate Our Differences!

My students need 4 sets of multicultural literature that celebrates the cultures represented in our class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones-Lucas's classroom raised $278

This project is fully funded

My Students

In our classroom, we enjoy celebrating the diversity of one another! These books would help us continue to celebrate our differences and allow us to learn from one another!

I teach twenty-one wonderful and diverse students in an all day Kindergarten classroom in a high-need community.

My classroom is hands- and brains-on, and we love to learn from one another and through music. We love to sing and dance. My goal is to inspire my students to believe in themselves and become lifelong learners. They have made my life brighter, and I would like to brighten theirs in return!

My Project

We have many cultures represented in our classroom, and we need more resources to help us celebrate these differences! I am requesting multicultural stories to open the door for discussions about different cultures and traditions. I believe this literature is important because it will provide my students and their families with validation. My students love learning about different cultures, and these books will be perfect!

My students need your help to gain these valuable resources.

These books can help validate my students and their families. Studies show that English Language Learners that feel validation in the classroom are more likely to be successful. You can make a difference for my students, and you can help all my students become well-rounded individuals. Your help can touch the lives of my students!
