My Project

Starting a new year in kindergarten, I have seen my class become more diverse. The books in my classroom represent a variety of students, but there are some groups still very underrepresented.

These books will showcase the cultural diversity in my class.

I am looking forward to adding new books that show Asian and Native American characters. These books will allow my students to see themselves in published texts.

I have also included books about Social-Emotional understanding and neurodivergence. These will offer insights to my young learners about themselves and how to interact with others.
