These books have been a great addition to my classroom. I strive not to only teach my students reading, writing and math, but to help them become good humans. While it is great to be a smart and capable, you need to be a good person to use these assets for good. By reading these books it helps students learn empathy and kindness towards others who may be different from them. It also teaches that through perserverance and hardwork anything is possible. These are skills that will help my students not only in life but in their schoolwork. \r\n\r\nBy reading these books together we share the experience of how life is for the various characters. It has brought about great discussions on how we treat others based on what we see, what others who are different are capable of and the impact our words and actions can have on others. Through these discussions students are seeing life from others perspectives. Having these deeper converstaions has helped my students analyze, expand and critically think about text and make real world connections with what they are reading.","fullyFundedDate":1739371423354,"projectUrl":"project/through-the-eyes-of-others-learning-emp/9044092/","projectTitle":"Through the Eyes of Others, Learning Empathy, Understanding and Acceptance","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Resendiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2132056"},{"teacherId":9355237,"projectId":8897502,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, Cochiti Elementary School's 4th Annual Invention Convention was a resounding success—an especially meaningful one for our Title One school community!
