Classroom Library Books and Décor

Funded Sep 18, 2024

Thank you for your generous donation to our classroom! We have loved having new classroom decorations and diverse books in our class. I have several students who have truly enjoyed learning about new cultures through the books we've received. They enjoy both seeing their own culture represented, as well as connecting with new cultures that they can learn about. In addition, many of my students can connect to the stories in our new books. In particular, my students have enjoyed reading "Where Are You From?" They can connect to the rich heritage represented in the book, as they have their own stories of the places and people who have shaped them.

We've also enjoyed having the Accountable Talk bulletin board to support our classroom discussions. Over half of my class are language learners and this resource gives them concrete ways that they can contribute to classroom conversations. It provides them options for when they want to agree or disagree, as well as ways to ask for clarification or help. This language support is a benefit to not just my language learners, but all of my students.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Siwek
