Care and Keeping of Magical Me

Funded Mar 30, 2023

Thank you so much for your contribution toward the Harry Potter books for my students. Book two focuses a lot on families and family traits along with other magical elements such as potion creation. My students looked at their family members either biological or found families and how they influenced who they are. One of the activities we used to do this was a Family House Tree. Students thought about where their various family members would be sorted and placed them onto a family tree. Knowing their own house, they were able to look at their families have influenced their values and personalities. The other influential project we did was potions of emotions. In which students were able to externalize their emotions and think about them in a new way.

Not only did you help by giving my students a book that can be both a mirror and a window for them to help practice social and emotional skills, but you gave them a book that helped improve their love for literacy. We had wonderful discussions about the book that really showed how much they loved reading it. Overall at the school this year, we had a significant increase in literacy scores. Your contribution of a beloved book helped make that happen.”

With gratitude,
