In an effort to engage all students with independent reading that aligns with our anti-racist focus in 7th grade, we would like to expand our classroom libraries to continue to books that are both windows and mirrors of their own life experiences
We will use various sources (School Library Journal, National Council for Teachers of English, Colors of Us, We Need Diverse Books, etc. ) to gather a list of book titles that meet our criteria for this grant. Once the titles are received, we will spend some time doing book talks to promote the new books.
