How to build a bookshelve representing all backgrounds and cultures this winter season? You first have to get to know the families and the children in your classroom. Start by asking what each celebrate at home and research and educate yourself in the traditions and celebrations so that you can bring a little piece of home into the classroom. By having books and representation in the classroom we open ourselves to learning from our differences and building an equitable environment for all our children. Don’t be afraid to represent the cultures and traditions it is so special to feel welcomed in a space that allows you to learn more about each other and the community we serve.
