With each student having their own copy of the book, I can ensure that every child stays actively engaged during our reading time. As we read together, I encourage students to follow along, highlighting key events and discussing the development of characters and themes. Having their own copy allows them to interact directly with the text, jotting down notes, asking questions, and making predictions, which deepens their understanding and keeps them involved in the reading process.\r\n\r\nThis novel also provides an excellent tool for teaching third-grade reading standards. I use it to guide lessons in comprehension, vocabulary development, and the identification of story elements such as plot, character traits, and setting. Students can practice skills such as making inferences, summarizing chapters, and analyzing how characters' actions affect the plot. By reading the book together, we can engage in group discussions that highlight these standards, while also providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning through individual responses and projects. The personal connection to the text and structured lessons have made reading more meaningful and enjoyable for my students.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on our classroom, and we are truly thankful for the opportunity to experience this book together.","fullyFundedDate":1738936573251,"projectUrl":"project/turning-pages-turning-minds-a-novel-ad/9033612/","projectTitle":"Turning Pages, Turning Minds: A Novel Adventure for Third Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4776_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736259451750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jbryan"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2753","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":440,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":31,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":46.9,"schoolId":2753,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Allen Jay Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Allen Jay Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/guilford-county-schools/allen-jay-elementary-school/2753"}
