Donate to Build Ms. Beggan's Diverse Classroom Library

Hi! I'm Ms. Beggan, a 6th grade full-inclusion teacher in Boston. I am entering my 11th year as an educator in Boston Public Schools. Drawing from my love of reading and my experience working at our local library in high school, I was lucky to have built, catalogued, and organized an incredible classroom library at my previous school (pictured above). At my current school, I would love to build a rich, fresh classroom library for my students in which they feel represented and have the chance to explore other places, ideas, and identities, too.

I have created a wish list of diverse titles through First Book, an online store exclusively for educators and program leaders serving kids in need. Unfortunately, members of the public cannot purchase books directly through the site, so I am raising funds to purchase the titles from my list, as well as organizational materials for the library. Please click on the link if you'd like to see which books I've chosen.
