Each child was able to pull one thing from the box! We immediately set to work on finding just the right reading cushion, which we now call cookies, and a good book. A few of the favorites include The Biggie book of Piggie and Gerald. The kids feel very accomplished that they can read such a heavy book, and are constantly engaged by the simple stories inside. \r\n\r\nAs a group, we have been using our new watercolor supplies as a way of practicing reading retention. Our school utilizes a reading curriculum that includes many fables. As we have read through the series of fables the student have utilized their supplies to choose their moral answer to the question the stories provide. For example, we read about a chubby dog on a chain explaining to a stray why he has so much food, but also very little freedom. We then folded our watercolor paper in half and wrote food or freedom on the top. The students illustrated their preference only, having easy access to care or freedom. The majority leaned toward freedom, while quite a few chose burgers for their food illustration.","fullyFundedDate":1726949866789,"projectUrl":"project/read-and-retain-with-art/8789739/","projectTitle":"Read and Retain With Art","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. S","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9752195"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78373","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":269,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":42.6,"schoolId":78373,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jefferson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jefferson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/glendive-public-schools/jefferson-elementary-school/78373"}
