Building a Community
As someone that comes to you with a multicultural back ground it is very important for me to teach my students the importance of celebrating diversity. You will also quickly come to realize how important family is to me. And the truth is, there are so many different types of family, the ones that you are born into and then later in life the ones that you choose. This classroom is a family outside of your home. It is very important to me that we honor each others diversity. With that in mind, I have taken some time to research a few things about each other and where we come from. With in the classroom library, students will be able to find books that are influenced by their cultural background as well as books that help celebrate diversity. Here are just a few of the books that you will find:
If you or your child have your own favorite book, I encourage you to share it with the class! We can never learn enough about each other!
