My Project

Please help me give my students books for our classroom library! I would love to have additional books that my students can see themselves in.

My library needs more diverse books that students can see themselves in every single day!

This will make a huge difference in making sure they feel included and seen in the classroom and in the world! My students love to read and get so excited when they are able to make personal connections to things happening in the books we read together! Thank you so much!
