These books seamlessly blend fiction with nonfiction, empowering readers to make their own choices throughout the experience. \r\nThe Rick Riordan books have put a modern spin on mythology, and my students are eating them up. The Goosebumps series is so popular that I couldn't get a picture of them before they were all checked out.","fullyFundedDate":1735320888100,"projectUrl":"project/chills-and-thrills-are-flying-off-my-she/8831088/","projectTitle":"Chills and Thrills Are Flying Off My Shelves","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Daniels","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2357340_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448379722335","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pdaniels"},{"teacherId":2357340,"projectId":8837663,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating vintage series that have been given new life by being transformed into graphic novels.

I can't imagine my childhood without Curious George, Clifford, Froggy, and Fancy Nancy. When I became the Media Specialist at the elementary school, there were hardly any Curious George, Clifford, or Froggy books. I knew right away I had to find a way to get some of those books in my library ASAP. I wanted to introduce the students to Fancy Nacny and her super imagination. Pinkalicious is a great example of using your imagination.\r\nCommunity members and parents don't understand how expensive library-bound books are. There is not a lot of money budgeted towards books. You have to be very strategic. How you spend it. You want to get the most bang for your buck. Donors Chose provided me a way to get some iconic picture books to help children become lifelong readers. I now have Curious George welcoming the students, alongside Pete the Cat, Pig the Pug, Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, and ISPY! This would not have been possible without your help!!! Thank you for encouraging my students' love of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1729877466559,"projectUrl":"project/connecting-to-our-favorite-book-characte/8835387/","projectTitle":"Connecting to Our Favorite Book Characters","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Daniels","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2357340_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1448379722335","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/pdaniels"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51683","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":452,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":51683,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Eastside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Eastside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/greenbrier-school-district/greenbrier-eastside-elementary-school/51683"}
