Those students enjoy reading books about kids that look like them and have names like theirs. These books with characters of diverse backgrounds and personalities allow those students to feel seen and understood. \r\n\r\nIt's amazing how reading these books are changing perspectives, inspiring and helping students to grow.\r\n\r\nThanks again for your thoughtfulness and helping these inspiring minds.","fullyFundedDate":1744904247881,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-minds-want-to-know-where-are-t/9247568/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Minds Want to Know Where Are the Books?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp34849_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1579428655843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/scottye03brown"},{"teacherId":9217617,"projectId":8877386,"letterContent":"My students and myself have been greatly enjoying and learning from the resources you have provided for our classroom.

Through doing the activities and discussions associated with these resources I have heard lots of positive comments from my students like \"this is so fun!\" and \"I want to do this again!\" I love to see ( and hear) my students not only learning and engaged, but loving it!\r\n\r\nThe best part is I have only scratched the surface of what these resources have to offer! We have so much more to explore and learn as we do more activities that are provided through them.
