My Students

My students are in elementary school and are building the foundations to become lifelong learners. My school has become a safe haven for students. Outside of school, students are hit with the hardships of poverty. But inside, they know they are loved and cared for. My school is an escape from fear and judgment where students let their creativity guide them as they soar through adventures in learning.

My Project

This year it is my goal to make sure that I am providing an opportunity for students to be exposed to books written about and by people of color and other marginalized communities. At the end of the year, I want my students to proudly be able to give me 10 names and think about the impact that was made, or how reading about them has benefitted them.

Every year, I always ask my students to name 10 people from a specific marginalized community (Women, Latinx, African Americans, LBGTQ+, Ability, etc.) that has made a positive impact in our country but they always struggle to get past 3 or 5 names.

More often than not they are the same names that we always hear like MLK, Rosa Parks, RBG, etc. My students deserve to see their culture and community represented in our classroom library.
