My Project

My students come from different countries with diverse multicultural backgrounds and many are learning English. My students are naturally curious, ask engaging questions and enjoy sharing stories about themselves.

They love to explore their world through different styles of learning and participate in activities that stimulate their young minds.

They are our future scientists, artists, writers, and leaders.

Help me update my classroom library with books that highlight a variety of different cultures that represent my students' diversity. Kids love stories and their eyes light up when they can identify with characters that look and talk like them. It's so exciting when children read about similarities and differences that inspire them to make connections with both their own lives as well as their classmates'.

It is important to teach young scholars to respect and celebrate each other.

Stories can introduce different cultural aspects, offer new experiences and viewpoints, and teach children to appreciate similarities and differences and respect one another.
