My Project

My 3K class is comprised of students from various cultural backgrounds. For example, we have students from Guyana, China, Mexico, Ecuador and more! Therefore, I wanted my classroom library to represent my students' vast backgrounds. Ultimately, I want to build their confidence through using literature that mirrors their experiences. I want my students to be exposed to cultures around the world and to see themselves in my classroom.

I created a project with all sorts of Culturally Responsive text to represent my diverse student body.

It is important that my students have role models in their literature. We can't wait to cherish these books in our library.
