Hi Kara! I love how you reflected on the importance of students seeing themselves represented in the books they read. Additionally, how this idea extends to student experiences. If a student has never been to the ocean, reading about it will not be as easy as it would be for a kiddo that goes to the beach every summer. When I think about how we can support students with this, I think about how important it is to build relationships with our students and learn about the paths they have walked. Super interesting, thanks for sharing! :)
