My Project

Having these books be part of our classroom library will pave the way to develop a classroom exclusively about the inclusion of all. It will promote my continued theme within the classroom that everyone is created equal and that we must respect others regardless of their differences. My job is to support, love, and educate my students while helping them to become caring, compassionate, and empathetic adults. This project will help us get one step closer to our goal.

These carefully selected novels will expose students to themes that will emphasize each character's differences, prompting discussions and ultimately empathetic readers.

Literature is powerful as the words of a well-written book can take you on a visual journey to a better understanding of diverse people you may have never personally encountered before. This project is aimed at creating an inclusive environment through exposure to varying points of view and backgrounds through literature.
