I am thrilled to watch students explore and absorb these wonderful texts.\r\n\r\nEach day students read independently for 10 minutes and our course theme is mirrors, windows, and sliding doors. Being able to present scholars with opportunities to see themselves in books, and learn about other perspectives is the ultimate goal.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the year their will be literature circles and a choice book project. We have a very small library (we call it the Academic Commons), so these books are the first step in giving them choices of books that they are truly interested in!

The common denominator to inspire lifelong readers is books that are diverse in content and reading ability. No matter what classroom you walk into having books on hand inspires scholars and gives them tangible access to find what they like and don't like to read.\r\n\r\nThanks for providing the windows and mirrors that my scholars deserve. Inspiring stories will encourage lifelong readers and we know that reading is the largest lever to improve academic success across content areas. I aim to build their confidence and joy through books!\r\n\r\nI teach 9th grade Ethnic Studies and 10th grade World History and we do independent reading the first 10 minutes of class to support their literacy, learning about the world around them, and empathy.

When they asked for colored paper or glue they got as much as they needed! Instead of conserving what I had from the school I was able to give them freely anything they asked for. The colors provided in the pack were vibrant and easy to print on. The students used the paper and glue for their \"Superbug\"models and in their shared \"Scientific Abstracts.\" It really brought their lab and modeling work to life as you can see from the pictures attached. \r\n\r\nI still have more paper and so plan on using it next semester too. For a bit of context I teach a Medical Interventions Project Lead the Way class where scholars learn about Medial Careers and the science behind medical diseases, diagnosis, tests, treatments and the ethical considerations around all of it. It is a semester class. The topics covered are 1. Infections 2. Cancer and 3. Diabetes and Organ Transplants. We build a lot of models and carry out about 6 labs. It is both academic and career focused and based on patient stories and case studies.\r\n\r\nAs I am sure you know teachers spend a lot of their own money on supplies and so when you stepped in to alleviate some of the burden it was such a gift to me too!","fullyFundedDate":1755737056414,"projectUrl":"project/medical-interventions-scientific-poster/9521816/","projectTitle":"Medical Interventions Scientific Poster Presentations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10104163"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104961","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":762,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":67,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":104961,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Del Lago Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Del Lago Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/escondido-union-high-school-district/del-lago-academy-of-applied-science/104961"}
