Funded Feb 4, 2021Now that our 3, 4 & 5 year old students are back in person, teachers can read these new books you helped donate to our library. One lesson these books can teach our children, is there are great books to be read with characters, who look like they do and are the same race or the same race as their friends. Another lesson is that we are all different and some of the books show our bodies look different and we may not learn the same way or have the same cultural experiences.
Our preschool students love looking at new books. One child was so excited about seeing someone in the book, who looked like her, that she couldn't wait to have the teacher read the book. Even when she looked at the book herself, she was excited to see the pictures.
Thank you so much for providing these books for our students to feel more connected to books. Hopefully these books will help inspire our students to read all their lives because they feel more connected to the characters in the books.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Stadtmiller
