We have been reading our way through Seedfolks over the last few weeks and it has been better than I ever expected. Not only are the kids being given the opportunity to practice skills like drawing conclusions, making inferences, and using figurative language, they are also connecting with the characters in a very personal way. \r\n\r\nEach day we read one chapter and practice a reading skill as we discuss it. There are many so many examples that I could use to demonstrate how effective the book has been but my favorite happened just a few days ago. I have two Hispanic boys who are very quiet and do not usually answers questions out loud. When we got to the chapter about a young man named Gonzalo, all that changed. Both became very engaged and even offered meaningful answers based on their personal experiences. That has continued in the days since and our class is better for their participation. It was such a sweet moment to watch them connect with a book! This was only possible through your generosity!

A fun added bonus- I am also teaching a Latin 2 class this year, and even a few of them have asked to read books from the shelves, thus learning about a third language and culture. \r\nI predict that the library will have much more use in the second semester now that students understand their role in the classroom and are more comfortable with the idea of learning more and asking to borrow a next great read. \r\n\r\n I have included a couple of letters from a couple of my top explorers and pictures too, but the books have just started to catch more attention and interest, so trust me when I say I am so grateful for the impact this is making and will make in my classroom. I was bringing in books on my own merits and this process was slow and steady but you gave us a boost to offer a selection and variety of choices, which caught the attention of many of my students who might not read otherwise. \r\n\r\nI am very thankful, in the electronic age we are in, to people who still see the value of the good ol' pen and paper, slices of culture that my students can hold in their hands and travel to all the places I wish I could show them.
