Diverse Book List
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Equity Committee has created a Diverse Book List, geared toward consistently representing all students in an equitable and inclusive way. The book list is extensive and broken down into curriculum units that are often seen in the Co-op classrooms. From Dinosaurs to Friendship, Outer Space to Families, you are sure to find some excellent ideas for reading aloud with your children.
