My Project

I have amazing 3rd graders this year. They are eager to learn and constantly amaze me! My classroom includes many students of different cultural backgrounds.

I have chosen beautiful picture books that highlight various cultural heritage backgrounds.

I want my students to be proud of who they are and to share about their cultures.

I have chosen picture books that are high quality and are excellent examples for learning about other cultures. Sharing these beautiful books during class time will encourage my students to be proud of who they are and to share special information with the class through discussion.
