Classroom Library

Funded Sep 11, 2023

Thank you so much for your very kind donation to our classroom, the students and I were very excited to open and start using these books. The main book that I was excited to read to the class was "Everyone is Welcome" to show inclusivity as I had a student who was in a wheel chair. This book showed her that no matter what anyone looks like they are always loved and welcomed in the classroom. It was a great lesson to have as a classroom and helped the other students see the importance of inclusivity, empathy, and kindness.

Getting the other chapter books was a great way to transition my higher students to go from reading picture books and introduce them to chapter books. They would read these books in class when they would finish activities and would look forward to reading time. This helped my students improve their fluency, vocabulary, and it was a special way for me to bond with them as those were books that I read in 2nd grade too!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Olvera
