My Project

We are excited to use read-alouds as the catalyst for conversations about onclusion and representation. This collection of texts will serve as a door, mirrors, and windows for our students to connect with others around them, feel validated in who they are, and imagine how others with different lived experiences move through this world.

Read-alouds are a fabulous way for teachers to spark important conversations in an age-appropriate way with their students.

These texts connect to social-studies standards and help us to meet the social-emotional learning goals for our school. This set of texts will be available for teachers to check out when they would like to read them with their class, and each one will have an available lesson from Vera Ahiyya's phenomenal collection to help guide their discussion.

I am so excited to enrich our school's shared book-room collection with these amazing texts. Thank you for supporting our school community!
