My Project

In our classroom, we believe that every student deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read and read texts they want to read. This project aims to enhance our classroom library with a diverse selection of texts that represent a multitude of cultures, experiences, and perspectives.

This project will allow us to purchase a curated collection of fiction and nonfiction books that celebrate different cultures, experiences, and voices.

By providing our students with access to these texts, we hope to inspire a love of reading. Your support will help us cultivate a classroom where every student feels valued and empowered through literature. Thank you!

Ms. Zinda Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities Magnet School Grades 3-5
