My Project

My students are a group of curious and diverse learners who seek to challenge one another through critical thinking, personal experience, and history. My students love reading, and books are always a wonderful way to teach students important themes of diversity, inclusion, and equity. My project will enable my students to read a variety of books that welcome and support all individuals including the LGBTQ+, Black, Latinx, and AAPI communities.

My goal is that these books will enable my students to analyze stories through a different lens while appreciating who they are.

In addition, my project includes books that my students specifically asked for to be a part of their classroom library.
