The diverse texts support the development of essential literacy skills, such as comprehension, vocabulary expansion, and critical thinking. As we read together, students learn to identify and analyze characters, settings, and plot structures while also connecting with themes of empathy, friendship, and resilience. These books serve as entry points for important discussions around identity, acceptance, and diversity. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make predictions, and relate personal experiences to the stories, which strengthens both their language development and social-emotional growth.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is an interactive and dynamic experience. We often read aloud as a group, engaging in discussions about the characters and themes in the stories. Children are encouraged to express their thoughts, emotions, and opinions as they listen to and reflect on the narratives. I provide opportunities for them to retell stories, act out scenes, or create artwork inspired by the books, which deepens their understanding and fosters a love for storytelling. This interactive approach helps students internalize the lessons from the books, allowing them to recognize themselves in the stories and develop a sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nParticular students have shown an especially strong connection to the new books. For example, a few children who come from families with diverse backgrounds have expressed excitement about seeing characters who share similar cultural experiences or family dynamics. These students often feel more confident in sharing their own stories and perspectives, knowing they are represented in the books. Additionally, some students who are neurodiverse have responded positively to stories that feature characters with disabilities or different ways of thinking. These books help them feel seen and valued, and they often bring these stories into their conversations with peers, promoting inclusion and understanding in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWe greatly appreciate your donations, as they have helped expand not only our library, but also our students' hearts and minds. Thank you so much for all of your support!","fullyFundedDate":1733347194222,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-diverse-library-for-little-le/8629344/","projectTitle":"Building a Diverse Library for Little Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9181687_orig.jpg?crop=933,934,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691888031058","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9181687"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5237","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":467,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.9,"schoolId":5237,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Marguerite Hahn Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Marguerite Hahn Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/cotati-rohnert-park-unified-school-district/marguerite-hahn-elementary-school/5237"}
