My Students

My students are inquisitive and kind. They work hard and are eager to learn. My students are culturally and racially diverse. They know that they are all unique and special. They know they are in a safe place where they can be themselves.

My Project

I am excited to provide new, wonderfully diverse book titles for my wonderfully diverse students. I picked out a lot of great books that encourage inclusion and being yourself. All elementary students love read-alouds. I love teaching in an intermediate grade, because many thoughtful, authentic conversations occur with read-alouds. All of these books connect to state standards and are a great addition to our Social-Emotional Learning curriculum.

Please help me give my students what they deserve.

They deserve books that represent a variety of races and cultures. They deserve books that are thoughtful and inspiring.

Grades 3-5
