My Project
In a world of comparisons and social media perfection, children are burdened with the idea of not being good enough. Every day, I watch my students feel as though they are not special and they are not smart. They tell me about wanting to be someone else and not liking themselves.
The goal for this project is to bring more books into the classroom that affirm the most unique and positive traits about each of my students - from their name to their culture to their hair styles and cuts.
The books in this project focus specifically on children who look like my students and will allow me to add more self-esteem content into our morning group time, helping them to learn how to love themselves while accepting the unique features and qualities of others.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
