My Project

My classroom this year is more diverse than it’s ever been. Kindergarten is an important year where children come into their own and discover how they begin to fit into the world.

Students of all colors, cultures, and backgrounds need to see examples of themselves in the learning and play around them.

As I look around my classroom, most toys and many books only represent a portion of my students. I believe it’s important for all of my students to see themselves in every possible way in class.

This project would fund multicultural dolls, blocks, toys, and books that would allow my students to see learning tools that look like them. Additionally, it would make my classroom a space that doesn’t automatically assume all children look the same.

Making all of my kindergartners feel comfortable and seen is a necessary goal in my classroom.
