It was a fun activity to celebrate Hispanic heritage month and introduce how science can shape the world around us in unexpected ways. My students thought they were too cool for a read aloud and tried to sit far away. Once, I got them all close enough, they were captivated by the story and kept asking to see the pictures better! \r\n\r\nOur classroom library is a great resource for students who are done with tests earlier or have completed their required work. It is a nice way to differentiate for students who don't need as much time or help as others, while still keeping them engaged and thinking about science. I have seen several students who would not be interested in books normally pick up books about people who share their identity - like famous Pacific Islanders or Middle Eastern architects. These books create a door that allows my students to access to science through their identity and culture, which has proven to be a powerful way to connect them to their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1754857473479,"projectUrl":"project/science-through-culturally-relevant-stor/9497108/","projectTitle":"Science Through Culturally Relevant Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cheever","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587030_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752864528390","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-cheever"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35799","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":810,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":35799,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Evergreen Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Evergreen Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/federal-way-public-schools/totem-middle-school/35799"}
