My Project

I am the K-12 librarian at my school! I teach classes in K-8th grades for library and Computer Science. We read lots of books during our class time. We always have a library activity to go with each books. When the activity has to do with a person, my students want to have many different options in writing/coloring materials.

Having full representation of our diversity in our library activities is so important.

Our materials are running low for our colors of the world writing and coloring materials and we really need some new materials. This project would give us enough materials to replace the materials that are well loved and need to be replaces. We have table bins for our library tables and this project would give us enough new items to restock all the table bins!
