I have had the awesome opportunity of teaching in an urban setting for the past four years. I made this blog to help other educators!
Teaching in this environment is EXTREMELY rewarding but can also be ESPECIALLY challenging.

Friends and Family -
I got this idea from a fellow teacher friend on Facebook and thought it was such an amazing idea, I just had to do it myself!
As all of you know, I am a Kindergarten teacher in an underprivileged school district in Cincinnati. The majority of my students are African American. After taking an inventory of my classroom library, I have discovered that the books in my classroom library DO NOT reflect the students in my classroom. This is concerning and I'm wanting to rectify this immediately.
This is where I need your help. I do not know if we will be in the classroom fully but I do know I will have the opportunity to read aloud to my students even if it is just by videos on Google Meet. I have attached an Amazon wish list with several books that reflect the ethnicity, genders, and backgrounds of my students. I am constantly adding to this list but I was going to reach out to you amazing people to see if you would be interested in purchasing one or more books from this list? I believe that you can just go to the list and choose to ship it to me.
Thank you so much for helping me grow as an educator and human and helping the students in my classroom develop a love for reading! ❤️❤️❤️
