Help me give my students diverse books to begin the year off right with texts that have characters that look like them.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Goins's classroom raised $529
This project is fully funded
My Project
Most classes have students who are different in personality and I definitely have that. I also have at least two thirds of my students who have a different home country than the United States. There are different languages spoken, different skin colors and traditions. With that being said, we need more representation in our classroom.
My students need to see books and other classroom materials that represent them.
A book or bulletin board with a student who is wearing a hijab, or is a refugee are just some of the items that I am trying to have available for my students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
