My Project

The products that I have selected will inspire and enrich students' understanding of the vibrant cultures and diverse communities surrounding us. By engaging with these resources, students can immerse themselves in their academic studies playfully and enjoyably, making learning a dynamic and interactive experience.

Exposing children to diversity from a young age increases their likelihood of accepting and valuing differences.

This, in turn, fosters inclusive environments where everyone feels welcomed and respected. Please help me give my students materials that will foster learning about the beautiful culture and diversity around us.

Together, we can promote racial equity in early childhood!
