Reading looks a little different in my classroom. I teach Elementary Science. However, we use books in a few ways: \r\n\r\nFirst, I have books available for kids who finish projects and are waiting for their friends to finish. Because all kids work at different paces and complete projects in different ways, they all finish at different times. Having interesting books for students to read when they are done is a lifesaver in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWe also use books as a jumpstart to a unit, or as a tie-in to a unit. These are usually read to the students by me. The easiest way to incorporate the books that were donated is to use them as an introduction to a STEM/STEAM project. Hmong folktales are great ways to begin a STEM project. Kids can design solutions to problems in the stories. Hmong culture can be used to start them thinking about a design project with a Hmong focus.\r\n\r\nHowever the books are used, it is important for my students to see characters in books that look like them and that share traditions and culture. It is important for them to know that they are uniquely special and their history is now part of all of our histories. The kids in my class have been thrilled to have these books to peruse. Thank you so much for your part in this project.","fullyFundedDate":1730380809921,"projectUrl":"project/my-culture-in-my-classroom/8562557/","projectTitle":"My Culture in My Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp754783_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691006797676","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/laura-ferguson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33916","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2503,"numTeachers":96,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":98,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"26.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.1,"schoolId":33916,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hmong College Preparatory Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hmong College Preparatory Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/hmong-academy/33916"}
