It’s important to understand perspectives and experiences outside of my own.
books are the life of education
I believe in it!
We live in a diverse historical neighborhood and value multiple perspectives and opinions!
I want to support literacy in our community and recognize the diversity of my neighbors; it is important that children be allowed to find themselves in the books they read.
Windows and mirrors! It is important for us to see ourselves and see others in what we read.
I am a teacher who believes that all children should see themselves in literature.
