Many couldn't wait to start reading right away, proudly saying things like, \"I can't believe she's a scientist like me!\" It was a beautiful reminder of how representation inspires confidence and curiosity.\r\nEach student took their books home to begin building a personal collection that connects literacy and science. Families have shared how their children are reading more and talking about STEM careers at home. These books have not only encouraged a love for reading but also helped my students imagine themselves as scientists, engineers, and creators.\r\nAs a next step, we'll continue expanding our classroom's connection between reading and STEM exploration—because every child deserves to see themselves in the pages of possibility.
