This is the moment a student told me they connected with my immigration story. She also moved to the US at age 8 and had to learn in a new language and experienced culture shock. #d25itspersonal@ahsd25Thomas @ahsd25#OralHistoryDay

New year, new books! I just love diverse children’s books, we can learn so much from them. Both of these are rich in culture, relationships, and food! Thank you @PrincipalKaese and @SharonNelles for sharing these! #d25itspersonal
1st graders @AHSD25Westgate have been learning about holidays around the world. She couldn’t wait to show me everything they made and facts they learned. It’s so important for children to be exposed to diversity and talk about it. My heart is full ❤️🌎#d25itspersonal
