My Project

My students are fun loving children! They each have their own personality and have a love for learning new things. They are responsible, respectful, and dedicated to achieving a lot in life. We have students from all around the world and add a lot of value to our class.

My students are curious about the different students within our classroom that are from different nationalities, disabilities, and representing their different backgrounds in life.

I want to share with my students that our classroom can be a safe home away from home. We can celebrate our similarities and differences in individual ways. These books will help me teach my students that it is okay to be different. We can learn and grow and be respectful and kind towards others throughout the year and into the future.
