Diverse Culture Readings

Help me give my students a chance to listen to a book and learn about other cultures that they may or may not know about. This will set them up to interact with others different from them.

My Students

My students are a mixture of all great things. They all come into our virtual learning setting with a positive smiling face which in return makes our class shines bright to all. They never give up know matter how hard the lessons are.

My Project

Help me help my students experience and learn more about other cultures outside of their own. We will be able to use these books in our virtual morning meetings day by day. Reading these books to my students will set them up to interact with others that may not look like them, in a positive way but gain a sense of understanding of who they are and possibly where they are from. They will also gain clarity that we are all the same but we look different and should be treated and loved in a great manner.
