Celebrating Our Latest Book Infusion: Promoting Messages of Acceptance, Diversity and Empowerment.10/17/2017
Last week at Chatsworth, every classroom teacher opened customized boxes of new books that focus on celebrating all diverse experiences. This was a collaborative effort to continue to prioritize our commitment to enriching and expanding our classroom libraries with children's literature that explore diversity, acceptance, and honor all experiences.
This was led by our district-wide literacy ambassador, Maggie Hoddinott, worked closely with the schools to research books that would bring a wide range of perspectives to our classroom and school libraries. All of these new books are filled with messages that allow children to put themselves in the shoes of diverse characters that experience social issues related to familial structures, race, wealth, poverty, opportunities, and friendship, All the books honor our humanity, while allowing children to develop empathetic attitudes for all people. If you are interested in finding some books that promote messages of celebrating diversity, empowerment and acceptance with your children at home, please click on the link below. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/10-childrens-books-that-celebrate-diversity/ Our values, and actions speak volumes for what we model and teach our children in school, and at home. Please join us in sending these very important messages to our Chatsworth Children. We, the Chatsworth staff, will continue to focus on supporting all the children in school. We look forward to sharing with you, in our next blog, all about other initiatives that are already happening, and will be happening soon! Comments are closed.
