The expanded selection brought new energy and excitement into the classroom—students were eager to explore fresh stories, illustrations, and topics they hadn't encountered before. Having such variety allowed more learners to see themselves represented in the texts while also opening windows into new perspectives and experiences. The daily read-alouds became more engaging because students could help choose from a rich library, increasing their sense of ownership and enthusiasm for reading.\r\nOver time, we've seen this excitement translate into deeper literacy growth. Students developed stronger listening comprehension, vocabulary, and discussion skills as they interacted with high-quality texts across genres. The abundance of books also encouraged more frequent reading opportunities, helping reluctant readers become more curious and confident. Overall, the added resources strengthened the classroom reading culture—creating a shared love of stories, boosting student motivation, and supporting meaningful academic and social-emotional development.","fullyFundedDate":1760794209214,"projectUrl":"project/read-alouds-for-team-piercson/9833930/","projectTitle":"Read Alouds for Team PiercSon","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3918848_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474508626940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3918848"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74185","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":470,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.9,"schoolId":74185,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brick Mill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brick Mill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/appoquinimink-school-district/brick-mill-elementary-school/74185"}
