My Project

Having a diverse library is something that is important to not only me, but my school community. My students love being able to not only see themselves in books, but learn about others. These books do not just promote cultural responsiveness, but build empathy and self love. I want to ensure my students embrace who they are and respect the friends around them.

Having diverse texts in our classroom that has important messages for my students is something that is embraced in my classroom.

Thank you so much for your donations to our class!
