Racially Representative Books
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nelson's classroom raised $408
This project is fully funded
My Project
I teach ELA at the most wonderful school ever. My students are respectful, responsible, accountable, and genuinely love to come to school and learn. I teach five classes a day filled with a variety of levels and backgrounds including inclusion and non-English speaking students. One thing that my students love to do is read and they love utilizing my classroom library for free reading time! I have lots of students requesting novels that have characters with a wide variety of racial representation.
My students need books that have a variety of racial representation.
My students need new and diverse titles that appeal to them and their reading interests as well as their own personal lives. By adding new titles to our classroom library, I can ensure everyone has equitable access to books that they want to read.
