I am in my second year teaching second grade and I inherited a handful of books from another teacher. This wasn't enough to put in my classroom library. Our school librarian brought me some books that she was getting rid of from the library. They were old and out-dated. I noticed last year and at the beginning of this year that my students didn't really like any of the books that were on the shelf. I had purchased a few books and those were usually the ones that I saw students with. \r\n With these new books students are excited to go to the library to shop for new books each week. I have a couple students who have started an independent book club during our reading group time. They are excited to get to choose from the new Magic Tree house books. \r\n Again thank you for supporting my classroom and helping a second year teacher grow her classroom library!","fullyFundedDate":1730733531221,"projectUrl":"project/reading-is-an-adventure/8496638/","projectTitle":"Reading is an Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Becker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9592506_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745670202024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9592506"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76600","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":499,"numTeachers":58,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"8.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":76600,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dogwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dogwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/camdenton-school-district-r3/dogwood-elementary-school/76600"}
