1, 2,3...I See Me!

Funded Sep 3, 2020

Thank you so much for your contribution to our class project!

The books that were ordered have provided our classroom library with a more personal touch to our students. Through these books, we share stories that are both familiar and new to them. The books allow our students to identify with different characters similar to themselves while also learning about different struggles and emotions that people go through and overcome. These stories are important to our students as they continue to grow and understand the world around them as well as themselves.

During these uncertain times, it has been very comforting to read and share these books with our students both remotely and during in-person sessions. While reading the books remotely may not be conventional, the stories provide the students with a personal connection and makes them forget that they are not in the usual classroom setting. They listen to the stories and see how they can associate with them. The students enjoy seeing characters that resemble them and listening to inspiring stories that promote self-worth and love.

They love to listen to stories that are familiar to them. They smile, they laugh, and they ask numerous questions about the books while sharing stories of their own in relation to the books. After listening to some of the books, we have created projects as an extension to promote confidence and pride within the students. The students have connected with the stories and these projects as we continue to read them in class. Thank you for your contribution, we deeply appreciate the impact it has had on our students.”
