They immediately started pulling books off the shelves, pointing out titles that represented their cultures, interests, and identities. One student said, \"Wait... this character is literally ME!\" and that moment alone made every piece of this project worth it.\r\nWe've already put the resources to work in a mini-unit where students chose texts that reflected their backgrounds or helped them explore something new. Watching them gather in little reading circles, debating characters, sharing connections, and excitedly recommending books to each other, has been such a wholesome teacher win.\r\nThese materials have shifted our classroom vibe in the best way: students feel seen, curious, and genuinely excited to read. Our room feels fuller, warmer, and more inclusive because of you.\r\nNext up: Students are beginning a project where they'll analyze themes across texts from different perspectives and then create digital book-talks to share with the school community. Their confidence is already growing, and your support made that possible.\r\nThank you for giving my students the space and stories they deserve. This project didn't just add books to a shelf, it added joy, representation, and so much pride to our classroom. 💛📚","fullyFundedDate":1755452993476,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-readers-in-a-welcoming-inclu/9579451/","projectTitle":"Empowering Readers in a Welcoming, Inclusive Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9083042_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755705597639","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dvasquez6"},{"teacherId":2584490,"projectId":8953969,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your most generous donation.
