Teaching Tolerance in Kindergarten Through Literature

My students need books sets that are focused on the ways we are alike and different by exploring family identities, values, and responsibilities.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

We all have favorite books, favorite authors, and favorite quotes that we reference in our lives. An important part of growing up is learning to love literacy. Seeing yourself reflected in the books you read is incredibly important.

Our school is a K-8, charter school in an urban area.

Our students are diverse and they all strive to be "civic-minded leaders, accomplished writers, and resilient lifelong learners." Becoming accomplished writers means that students must be exposed to a variety of quality literature.

My Project

By reading books about diversity, my students will learn how to be tolerant and accepting of others. Using these types of books as read alouds for kindergarten students changes the way students feel about themselves as members in our classroom community as well as their views of others. My students will build their understanding of different cultures and ethnicities, various disabilities, diverse families, and gender fluidity. Books such as "Something Beautiful" will familiarize students with the differences in everyone through the beauty of friendship and the power of hope.

These children's books will help build a safe and loving community for all learners.

It will also help build tolerance and acceptance of others while building a love of literacy and reading.
