The snacks help students who may not have enough to eat during the day stay focused, regulated, and ready to learn. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snack supplies arrive, they were excited and sincerely thankful. They asked questions about where the snacks came from and were surprised to learn that caring donors chose to support their school.

The students have really enjoyed reading a book that is set in times (and a place) that they can more easily relate to.

In addition, this book has allowed students who are not indigenous to understand some of the customs and experiences that they may not have been aware of before reading this. \r\nIn my classroom this is a book that we read and discussed together within the classroom. This allows students to see and practice reading strategies together, so they may improve their reading abilities. In addition to practicing reading, students also explore the Indigenous culture and discussed their history and the impact this history has on the modern Indigenous population.","fullyFundedDate":1757945261616,"projectUrl":"project/indigenous-literature-in-the-classroom/9653621/","projectTitle":"Indigenous Literature in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rainwater","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3426376_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646402484555","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3426376"},{"teacherId":5945614,"projectId":9129146,"letterContent":"The students enjoyed their snacks.
