Good Morning gather!  We had a ice/snow storm sweep through Virginia last night meaning schools are closed today.  It was an answer to a prayer as I really needed it to work on teaching materials and play catch up.  I'm currently compiling a database of multicultural childrens books and it's amazing how many great books there are.

 

Multiculturalism is something I'm passionate about.  I love learning about new cultures and as a teacher I'm exposed to it on a daily basis.  I like to add cultural diversity in lessons through stories, games, history and daily life.  I have a notebook where I keep note cards for multicultural reads and now I'm databasing it to add to my teaching portfolio.  I'm always looking for more reads, so I wanted to know, what are your favorites?

I really enjoy Dr. Zeuss, as do all my grandchildren. I put back mine that I had as a child.

Those look very interesting titles - have not read any multicultural books recently :-)

This week in our reading book we are reading Jamaica Louise James. The kids enjoy it and so do I.

Oh my gosh there is so many, I guess Dr. Seuss is the favorite but they love to read anything and everything.

Wow, you should definitely share your list from your database with us! My husband and I don't have kids yet, but one big thing that we have wondered about is books regarding religion -- we'd like an appropriate way to teach our children about the world's religions. I too hope to find multi-cultural books when we have kids also.
