Books are one of the greatest joys for a classroom. The students in our class were no different in their joy and excitement for these incredible gifts. \r\n\r\nIt was like Christmas when the boxes started showing up! Students were eager to see what new books were being added to our book boxes each day. To help kids easily access the new texts and see the giant gift in one place, I created book boxes focused on the United States. These have been popular with all of our readers. Kids have eagerly read, oohed and aahed over the photos and artwork, and shared new facts they've learned with me and their peers. \r\n\r\nStudents have been excited to learn more about the United States and explore states beyond Oregon. They have been actively engaging in our geography and social studies lessons knowing that they have cool materials and resources to help their knowledge grow. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving so generously to our student library. Our classroom is full of more knowledge and eager learners because of your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1735661963777,"projectUrl":"project/where-am-i/8864359/","projectTitle":"Where Am I?!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Funk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2211549_orig.jpg?crop=2072,2072,x0,y221&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557245080073","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/melissagrothe"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87658","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":352,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.8,"schoolId":87658,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lewis & Clark Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lewis & Clark Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/astoria-school-district-1c/lewis-clark-elementary-school/87658"}
