Multicultural Libraries & Conversations
Dear Colleagues,
It is a true pleasure to let you know about a resource for BSD classrooms. The elementary level was delivered December 18, 2018; Middle School levels were distributed January 3 and February 19, 2020. The Department of English Learners has collaborated with other District personnel to provide you will a small collection of books which we hope reflect some of the multicultural/multilingual people, places, and situations experienced by families whose children attend your school. It is my hope that these books will inspire conversation among students, and lead to greater understanding and appreciation of the diversity of our community.
This page has been established to provide some resources and support in the form of ideas about how these books might be used in your classrooms. It would be wonderful if we could compile a list of the many ways I'm sure you will find to explore and enjoy them with students.
For more information, please contact Kristen Bingel, EL Academic Language Coach.
