Adding Culturally Inclusive Books to Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students access to books about different cultures, religions, and people. Books should be mirrors, windows, and sliding doors. This means that all children should be exposed to books about themselves and others.

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

My students are English Language Learners who are in a bilingual classroom meaning they are learning to read and write in their native language (Spanish) first. They all come in with different levels of English Proficiency meaning some can speak a little English, some speak a lot of English, and some with no English at all. As a kindergarten teacher, I will have students who have never been in school and some who have attended Pre-K, Head Start or some form of preschool. I also have some who are new to the country whose parent recently immigrated from another country. As young children getting used to the school environment, they have different needs that need to be fulfilled in order to be able to learn.

My Project

My curriculum includes social justice standards from Teaching Tolerance which focus on Identity, Diversity, Justice and Action. Many of my social justice lessons could be extended if I included a book to go along with it. These books are reflective of different people in different professions and time periods.

Unfortunately, culturally inclusive books can be expensive to add to our library so I need help in providing these much needed books for my students.

My hope is that by exposing them to books that look like them and others, that it can build a sense of community and empathy that all students need.
