The books I've requested for my classroom library will help me create access and equity. My students hail from diverse cultural backgrounds, however, our current library only represents limited experiences. A library filled with diverse characters and with thoughtful books written by a variety of authors will help me expand my students' understanding in Reading and Writing, but also of the world they live in.
I believe in ensuring children's citizenship in the classroom, which requires participation and a sense of belonging. One way I can achieve my goal is to provide them authentic opportunities to see themselves in the stories they are reading, identify with the characters, and form connections with their daily lives.
I want my students to recognize that diversity of thought, language, and culture is a strength that we can all benefit and learn from not only in Reading and Writing but in general as well- to truly cherish our community.
