Your generosity has provided an invaluable resource that will profoundly impact my students' learning and personal growth.\r\n\r\nHow We Will Use These Books:\r\n\r\nThese books will serve as catalysts for critical thinking and meaningful dialogue throughout the year. We will integrate them into our curriculum in several key ways:\r\n\r\nRead-Alouds and Class Discussions: We will dedicate time to read aloud selected passages and entire books, fostering collective experiences and prompting guided discussions about themes of identity, prejudice, and social justice. These sessions will create a safe space for students to share their thoughts and perspectives, building empathy and understanding.\r\nIndependent Reading and Reflection: Students will have ample opportunity to explore these books independently during dedicated reading time. They will be encouraged to keep reading journals, reflecting on the stories, characters, and messages they encounter. This will promote personal connection and critical analysis.\r\nLiterature Circles and Book Clubs: We will organize literature circles and book clubs, allowing students to delve deeper into specific texts and engage in peer-led discussions. This collaborative approach will encourage diverse interpretations and promote active learning.\r\nCross-Curricular Connections: We will connect the themes and narratives from these books to other subject areas, such as social studies, history, and language arts. For example, we might explore historical events related to racial injustice or analyze the literary techniques used by the authors.\r\nProject-Based Learning: We will incorporate these books into project-based learning activities, where students can create presentations, artwork, or written pieces that demonstrate their understanding of the issues explored in the texts.\r\nBuilding a More Inclusive Classroom: These books will be readily available in our classroom library, ensuring that all students, especially students of color, see themselves reflected in the stories we read. This visibility is crucial for fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.","fullyFundedDate":1727989820796,"projectUrl":"project/underrepresented-authors-for-kids-of-col/8847209/","projectTitle":"Underrepresented Authors for Kids of Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lefebvre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8223798_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701227196757","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8223798"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40646","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":258,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":27,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":65.5,"schoolId":40646,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wyandotte Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wyandotte Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oroville-city-elementary-school-district/wyandotte-ave-elementary-school/40646"}
