These new books have not only captured imaginations but also introduced critical early literacy skills and lifelong social-emotional lessons.\r\n\r\nIn Pre-K, reading is interactive, joyful, and foundational. We gather on the carpet, turn pages together, and explore big ideas with little hands. With these new texts, students are learning to identify characters, make predictions, and use pictures to support their understanding. Just as importantly, they're building empathy by seeing children of all backgrounds, abilities, and cultures represented in stories that reflect their own lives and those of others.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite titles features a young girl proudly wearing her hijab to school—this sparked a wonderful conversation about clothing, culture, and kindness. A student whose family recently immigrated lit up during that read-aloud and proudly shared about her own traditions. Another student, typically shy during group time, now regularly brings one of the new books to me and asks if we can read it again—a huge leap in confidence and language development.","fullyFundedDate":1705443136956,"projectUrl":"project/diversity-doesnt-look-like-anyoneit-lo/8141397/","projectTitle":"Diversity Doesn't Look Like anyone…It Looks Like Everyone!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. A","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9430544_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704890152476","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9430544"},{"teacherId":9077411,"projectId":8943308,"letterContent":"On behalf of the entire class, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of hands-on manipulatives.
