Representation Matters!

Help me give my students a library that represents their culture, heritage, religion, and identity. In addition, I've added headphones with a microphone so that my multi language learners can practice learning English through a curriculum based program.

My Project

This is my 8th year as a teacher. I am currently teaching 2nd grade, going on my 6th year. I am so humbled, grateful, and blessed to be a teacher. This is definitely not an easy career but it is worth it because I get to teach the minds of the future and I’m so careful with this responsibility. Every year I center my classroom around my students and the diversity of their culture, heritage, traditions, and uniqueness. I am asking for books to add to my library. In addition, I have added headphones with an attached microphone so that my Multi Language Learners can practice learning English through our districts curriculum. I have already purchased books and other classroom supplies and now I could use some support in completing the remainder of my list. Thank you in advance for your contributions. Love and Blessings to you always.
