My Project

For this project, I am asking for many books that focus on diversity and inclusion to put in my classroom’s library. Students need to have opportunities to see themselves in their classroom and a great way to show representation is in the classroom library! These book bundles will allow my students many opportunities to engage with text about people of color, as well as allow them opportunities to learn about inclusivity. These books will help foster a love of reading within my students and give them books that they want to read.
