From maistorybooklibrary on IG: “What is something you wish your teacher knew? Or teachers, what is one of your favorite ways to get to know your students? ✏️ It’s vital for teachers to get to know their students, not just academically, but socially and and personally as well. We need to create a safe space for them to feel welcome to share with us what *they need to say .* 💛 When we create a supportive environment and take the time to listen to our students, these featured messages are the things we may hear them say. 📚 Sometimes, sharing a story a child can relate to helps them process and verbalize their own experiences. Read aloud these featured books to create a learning environment where all experiences are acknowledged, supported, and welcomed. 💬 This is one of mai favorite collections to curate at the beginning of every school year. If you have an experience or book rec to add to this collection, please share in the comments below.” Check out maistorybooklibrary’s page on Instagram for a book list + more inclusive book recs. 📚
