My Project

My students are kind, silly, enthusiastic, empathetic, smart, persistent, and resilient. They are individual, one-of-one, and they are diverse. My students are so many wonderful things!

I want these wonderful people to feel seen, represented, and reflected in the carefully chosen elements of our classroom.

When they pick up and engage with these multiethnic dolls and puppets, I hope they will recognize themselves, even in play.

I want them to imagine their futures as they don the uniforms of different helpers in our community. I want them to envision their possibilities and start to wonder and aspire.
