They began reading the affirmations and saying which one was \"theirs\". They loved the color and the fact that they had something cushiony to sit on without constantly grabbing a cushion and then putting it away. It brought them so much joy that day, and it continues to inspire them daily! \r\nI loved its simple look and how a few small words always face them, brightening their day when they might be struggling and keeping them believing in themselves.

The students were inspired by her story and stayed engaged while reading. In addition, having such a variety of reading-level books about the same person truly helped bridge the gap for so many of the students. They were able to read at their level, but still have conversations discussing her activism. \r\nAfter we completed this book, many of them went on to read additional non-fiction books about famous people in our history. They especially loved the Who Is? series, but I only had a few to choose from.

The students have loved having the option of keeping their Chromebooks in the classrooms to charge nightly instead of having to lug them home every night.

The seat cushions have already been placed in my class library for students to utilize next year and the the chair rubber bands are in storage to utilize next year as well.
