Teaching Katrina to Katrina Survivors | Stories to Empower
Funded Oct 13, 2009Thank you, thank you, thank you so much on behalf of every Redirection student and, of course, myself, for your tremendous donation to our classroom! The books that you helped us purchase have been picked up with wild curiosity and lots of exclamations of, "Man, I never seen books look like these," or "This about Katrina? I didn't know no books was about Katrina!" Grammatical correctness aside, (that's much improved, too ;) my kids have been uncharacteristically excited about our big package of interesting books.
We are in the midst of talking about and designing the unit that we will use the books for this spring, but in the meantime, many kids have used their silent reading time to poke a look into the books or explore some of the pictures.
We're really excited to have these really amazing stories and it's all thanks to you! I appreciate you all so much for supporting my students and I. Thank you!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Pasternak
