These materials have impacted our classroom in ways I could never imagine. From the moment we received these diverse and adorable little people the children have played with them nonstop and their imaginations have grown and created wonderful worlds. \r\n\r\nI had hoped these dolls would ensure that the children had more representative play items in our classroom. The conversations between them are so sweet, they talk about their hair styles and they play with them with such gentleness. All students engage in collaborative play and I love how they help them see the world around them as being full of possibilities.\r\n\r\nAgain, I want to express the great appreciation we have for supporting our classroom and helping shape these sweet young learners!","fullyFundedDate":1732765746717,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-dolls-for-little-hands/8638843/","projectTitle":"Diverse Dolls for Little Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. O'Donnell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5358436_orig.jpg?crop=1574,1574,x741,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1707937370862","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrskodonnell"},{"teacherId":6377102,"projectId":8704143,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has become a haven of understanding, cultural appreciation, and meaningful conversations. The books you helped provide have allowed my students to explore narratives that celebrate diverse voices, sparking curiosity and deepening their empathy for others.\r\n\r\nThrough these texts, we've been exploring themes of identity, kindness, and resilience. For example, we've learned to analyze characters' perspectives, understand the impact of their choices, and connect these lessons to our own lives. One memorable activity involved role-playing scenes from the books, where students practiced speaking up for others and solving conflicts—essential life skills!\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is lively and interactive. Small group discussions and \"read-aloud circles\" have become staples of our routine. Students take turns being discussion leaders, helping their peers reflect on themes like fairness and compassion. It is inspiring to see their excitement when they connect stories to their own experiences.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, has flourished through this project. This quiet second grader now eagerly raises her hand to share how the books relate to her family's culture and values. Her newfound confidence has inspired her classmates to open up as well.\r\n\r\nYour support has enriched our Spanish curriculum and nurtured a love for reading and a sense of belonging.
