To begin every class, we, myself included, spend the first six to ten minutes reading a book of our choice. There is no assignment attached to this reading-- no book report or test to take. This is merely reading for the joy of reading. Since adding these new books to my classroom collection, more students have found a book that interests them. Even the most reluctant of readers will find a book that they somewhat enjoy. It's the little wins like that one that make all of the difference.

They enjoy the quick pace of these texts, and though novels in verse seem like the easier way out, they actually delve deep into issues that impact my students today. \r\nYou have helped create a classroom of readers, and I cannot thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1733263642324,"projectUrl":"project/funky-literature/8958491/","projectTitle":"Funky Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McElroy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5289013_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1523376669911","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-whitalynn"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":196,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":44.4,"schoolId":12650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about LaSalle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"LaSalle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/lasalle-parish-school-dist/lasalle-high-school/12650"}
