My Project

Building my library with diverse books for my students is something that is incredibly important to me. These are some that we do not have yet and know that they would absolutely love. Having some board books are great as they are small and can be projected on my ELMO. I also put in for social/emotional materials that will allow my students to help express themselves in our classroom. There are also magnetic letters!

These books will teach my students about diversity, empathy, and love.

These are values that all of my students embrace in my classroom. Thank you for anything you can contribute!
