Funded Aug 13, 2021Thank you for donating to the multicultural book project! My classroom of diverse fourth graders were over the moon when the boxes of books arrived. They are avid readers who have a profound interest in learning about where they and others have come from.
Through your generosity, my students now have books with characters that they can relate to within the classroom. My classroom population represents many different cultures and the books that have been provided for the students are helping all of us to gain a better understanding of one each others backgrounds.
I have been sharing many of these books as read alouds with lessons that are associated with them. We have engaged in thoughtful conversations and meaningful reflections about what we know about different cultures and what we still want to learn. I look forward to continuing this important work and helping to mold wordly citizens.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Bergren
