These materials allowed my students to have everything they needed during our ELA class periods. Each student has a notebook with their name and notes for each of the chapters they are reading in it. The notebooks are stored in a central location in the classroom for easy access to them. Along with this, students are using posted notes during independent reading to record main ideas, summarize the chapter, ask questions and respond to questions asked. Their folders are being used as writing folders and have allowed students to have everything they need for their writing assignments in one location. \r\n Thank you for providing the materials my students need during their ELA block. They are learning to become more engaged readers and how to interact with the text that is meaningful for them. Without your generous donation, they would not have that opportunity.
