Help me give my students books for a continuous look inside the joy of diversity.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Boone's classroom raised $587

My Project

I love each and everyone of my students for their unique differences and cultural backgrounds. I want to teach them that though we may look, speak, or talk different, we can teach one another from our different backgrounds. I want my students to understand that being different is what makes the world a beautiful rainbow.

I want to even further show them through books about diversity.

Reading the books to my students will provide an opportunity for group discussions about diversity as well. I want my students to understand the importance of diversity and how it plays a part in society. Also, I want them to understand how to be respectful of the differences.
