These types of projects engage students so well, and the knowledge is retained so much longer. I can't wait to take our conversations of math and physics outdoors. \r\n\r\nIt's a little too cold still for our outdoor experiments, yet; however, my students have had active engagement with indoor components of this purchase and it's building interest and excitement for our spring activities! \r\n\r\nMy students and I are so appreciative for the hands-on application and are having so much fun they don't even realize that it's math and science.

It might not sound like a lot, but for these students, it means so much.\r\nLittle things like having the ever sharp pencil helps them focus on the smaller details and my students are beginning to reach those higher-level cognitive skills. Even their confidence reflects this change. \r\nThey are making better drafts which turn into tangible projects, this all aids in building intrinsic motivation.

These texts have allowed us to focus on essential reading skills such as decoding, sight word recognition, vocabulary development, and comprehension strategies like identifying main ideas, making inferences, and connecting text to personal experiences. The stories are culturally inclusive and relatable, which makes it easier for students—many of whom are refugees and immigrants—to engage with the material and see themselves as successful readers.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is interactive and collaborative. We practice together through read-alouds, partner reading, and guided practice in small groups. Students discuss characters and themes, predict what might happen next, and share how the text connects to their own lives. This active engagement not only builds literacy skills but also strengthens speaking and listening abilities, which are critical for daily life and work.\r\n\r\nSome students have taken a special interest in the new books. One student, who once struggled to read even a few sentences aloud, now confidently volunteers to read to the class. Another has been borrowing books to read at home with her children, creating shared learning moments for the whole family. These materials have turned reading into something my students look forward to—a time of connection, discovery, and accomplishment.","fullyFundedDate":1666287505210,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-adult-refugees-and-immigrants-t/6691148/","projectTitle":"Teaching Adult Refugees and Immigrants to Read in English","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Christenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1920822_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y131&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661360289276","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1920822"},{"teacherId":1920822,"projectId":6756844,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping put high-quality, meaningful books into the hands of my adult English learners—students who are refugees, immigrants, and lifelong learners determined to improve their skills.
