Our students are already diving into their reading, and I wanted to share how we're engaging with these new texts.\r\n\r\nWith this book, we are focusing on key literary skills such as plot development, the hero's journey, and character analysis. Students are learning how to track a story's progression, understand a protagonist's transformation, and analyze characters' motivations and relationships. Additionally, we are strengthening reading comprehension by working through an entire text rather than just excerpts or short stories, helping students build a deeper connection with the material.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an immersive experience. Students engage in group discussions, participate in guided reading activities, and respond to prompts that encourage critical thinking. We are also working on building reading stamina—encouraging students to focus for longer periods and develop endurance in their reading habits.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this possible. Your support is fostering a love of reading in our students and helping them develop skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1736377684225,"projectUrl":"project/8th-graders-seeking-a-good-book/9005629/","projectTitle":"8th Graders Seeking a Good Book","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4906295_orig.jpg?crop=1922,1922,x378,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752701352176","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4906295"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50134","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1509,"numTeachers":81,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.8,"schoolId":50134,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lehigh Acres Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lehigh Acres Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-lee-county/lehigh-acres-middle-school/50134"}
