My Students

Library Upgrade part 2 - What a year this has been. I moved into 1st grade to teach this year, and I want to have an updated classroom library filled with books that help us understand and deal with many feelings and questions the last year has brought up. Every morning we discuss and dive into Social Emotional Learning issues. In first grade it can be difficult to discuss antiracism, inclusion, diversity, or social justice. I am looking to enrich my students' bodies and minds with children's books that help explain, explore and promote these important and challenging life issues.

"We are the change that we seek.” ― Barack Obama

Our Title I school community is a diverse mix of Guyanese, African American, Caribbean, Asian and Hispanic families. We are a PreK-5th grade school in Queens, NY. We believe that all students can meet high standards of excellence, as well as develop social and creative skills through a cooperative effort of the teachers, administration, families, and community.

My Project

After a year like this one, even adults are not sure about their emotions and how they can deal with these emotions and life issues. My first grade students are developing and learning to think in a challenging time. Having books in our classroom library that explore, explain and promote issues such as equity, inclusion, diversity and antiracism will allow my students to not only know about these ideas and concepts but they can begin to connect with each other and cultivate strong beliefs and a sense of mattering in this world.
