The funding of this project allowed each of my 90 students to take home a book to read. I am including some quotes below from my students about how much they loved the story.\r\n\r\n\"The book was well written, in a very different yet interesting way that I've never seen a book do before.\"\r\n\r\n\"This book gave me a very thoughtful perspective on someone around my age with autism, which I haven't been exposed to before.\"\r\n\r\n\"The plot twists were insanely good and exciting!\"\r\n\r\nReading this book was a part of our Page to Stage unit, where students were able to watch and analyze the play after reading the book. Even more impactful, this story is about a boy who is neurodivergent (ASD) and how he sees the world. Many of my neurodivergent students were excited to read a book with a neurodivergent main character, and many of them saw themselves represented.\r\n\r\nYour donation made this a possibility.

One meaningful project was a cultural exploration of the muñeca Lele. Students research Indigenous Mexican culture and then created their own cultural dolls. This project allowed students to connect history, identity, and creativity while practicing language skills and cultural comparisons.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were genuinely excited and curious. Some students recognized the doll from prior experiences or family traditions, while others were seeing it for the first time. That moment sparked rich conversations about similarities and differences between their own cultures and Mexican culture. Students showed pride in sharing their backgrounds and demonstrated respect for cultural symbols, which made the classroom feel more inclusive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThanks to our donors, students had the tools to deepen their learning. These resources continue to support meaningful discussions, student creativity, and a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762267497435,"projectUrl":"project/support-the-art-of-lele-dolls/9734035/","projectTitle":"Support the Art of Lele Dolls","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perez-Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055224_orig.jpg?crop=828,827,x0,y99&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759173592454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10055224"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37935","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1275,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":68.8,"schoolId":37935,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about School of Creative & Perf Arts on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"School of Creative & Perf Arts","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-diego-unified-school-district/school-creative-performing-arts/37935"}
