This new equipment has allowed them to build skills, confidence, and independence each day — and to proudly showcase their abilities to their families at our annual family backyard games event!\r\n\r\nFamilies joined us for an evening of fun, playing backyard games like cornhole, washers, horseshoes, and more. The night was filled with smiles, laughter, and even dancing with our DJ! It was truly heartwarming to see parents celebrating their children's accomplishments and participation.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has had a lasting impact — not only on our students, but also on their families and our entire school community. The equipment will continue to be used for years to come, helping students grow in their abilities, learn games they can enjoy at home, and feel proud of all they can do.\r\n\r\nWe could not have achieved this success without you.

With books like The Giver and the Scythe series, my students are now engaging with complex ideas about power, control, and individuality. These texts allow us to practice key skills such as finding and citing text evidence, analyzing how authors develop themes, and recognizing the elements of dystopian writing. Students are learning to identify features like government control, loss of personal freedoms, and the struggle of individuals to resist conformity—all while making meaningful connections to the world around them.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading looks like students leaning over their books with highlighters in hand, eagerly marking passages that show elements of dystopian societies. They discuss their findings in small groups, debating which evidence best supports their claims. For many, this is the first time they've felt truly confident explaining their thinking with direct support from the text. One group was especially animated as they compared how The Giver and Scythe each show the costs of a \"perfect\" society, backing up their ideas with strong quotes.\r\n\r\nThe additional resources have also made a huge difference in creating a welcoming space. The soft lighting, new chairs, and fans have helped turn our classroom into a place where students feel calm, safe, and ready to learn. Instead of worrying about the heat or feeling uncomfortable, they can focus fully on their reading and learning. Because of you, our classroom has truly become a second home—one filled with books, curiosity, and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1746664514457,"projectUrl":"project/cool-cozy-and-ready-to-thrive-support/9249099/","projectTitle":"Cool, Cozy, and Ready to Thrive: Supporting At-Risk Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Truong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9623442_orig.jpg?crop=954,954,x13,y158&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722724115082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/readingmagic"},{"teacherId":5568508,"projectId":9705059,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.
