My Project

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Many students in my classroom are reluctant to read, and as we build fluency in reading and writing in English it is critical to have materials that are highly engaging for all students!

These books will support projects that bring racial equity pedagogy to students.

This literature will expose a diverse population of student who are acquiring an additional language to antiracist materials, and representative books that will help students learn more about racial justice while promoting a love for literacy!

My school media center doesn't have a large collection of books, so I would like to have literature that will hold student interests and support integrated units! Working with a culturally diverse population and a variety of language assets is incredible and we have so much to share!
