Representation in Books

Help me give my students a diverse library where they can see themselves in books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hennebry-Kenny's classroom raised $338

This project is fully funded

My Project

I want my students to be able to see themselves in our library. Ensuring the students see themselves in books helps make the classroom a more welcoming and inclusive space. When students see themselves in text and in the classroom it supports their academic, social and emotional development. A diverse library helps support a more inclusive and effective classroom environment. Students should be able to see themselves in their learning and connect with books. This will help foster a joy and love of reading. This joy and love of learning will help students want to learn!
