The new books you helped provide have made such a difference in our reading time. My students have been absolutely loving diving into new stories — they get excited every time we open a new book together, and many of them are even asking to read during free time now.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is so much more than just turning pages. We work on important skills like making predictions, understanding characters' feelings, identifying the main idea, and discussing the author's message. These books have allowed us to explore new genres, expand our vocabulary, and connect reading to our own lives in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nIt's been so rewarding to see how much the students' enthusiasm for reading has grown. Several students who were hesitant to read at the beginning of the year now can't wait to share their favorite parts of a story with the class. One student even told me, \"This is my favorite book I've ever read!\" Moments like that show how much your gift is truly impacting their love for reading.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where reading is exciting, engaging, and joyful.

They performed Pajama Party in the Fall, then Welcome to the Jungle in the Spring. Pajama Party is a grade-level musical that tells the story of kids getting ready for bedtime. There are 18 solo speaking parts and two solo singing parts. This was the perfect introduction to musicals for this group of students and the entire school! Welcome to the Jungle is based off Aesop's fable of the Lion and the Mouse. This musical told the story of these two characters and the valuable lesson of kindness, featuring 6 main characters with speaking parts (two with solo singing and speaking parts), 30 speaking solos, group songs, and we were able to add in additional songs featuring body percussion and xylophones. \r\n\r\nGrade-level musicals are a great tool for students, allowing them to work together towards a common goal with their peers and giving students the opportunity to see themselves succeed. These musicals also inspired other students on campus to do grade-level musicals with their peers and seek out performance opportunities outside of school. \r\n\r\nYour impact for the students of Field ES will truly be felt for a lifetime.
