My students and I were so excited to receive these materials! When they first saw The Mysterious Benedict Society book series, students could not wait to read the series. It was one of my favorites when I was their age, and I could not wait to share this love. The notebooks and highlighters have already become essential tools during our interactive novel studies, helping students organize their thinking, annotate important details, and make meaningful connections to the text. During math time, the Expo markers have brought extra engagement as students solve problems on whiteboards and confidently explain their strategies to one another.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our next steps include deepening their love of reading through books like The Mysterious Benedict Society whcih allows them to continue practicing reading comprehension. Students will continue practicing close reading skills, note-taking, and critical thinking as they track characters, themes, and clues throughout the novel in their journals during ELA and social studies. In math, we will keep building confidence and fluency by using our markers for daily practice and group problem-solving. Your generosity has truly supported our classroom and given students the tools that support both learning and excitement. Thank you for helping make our classroom a place where students are excited to be every day.","fullyFundedDate":1762187582596,"projectUrl":"project/5th-grade-class/9848980/","projectTitle":"5th Grade Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villalobos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10323852"},{"teacherId":9788945,"projectId":8852516,"letterContent":"My students have enjoyed all of the new cushions in the classroom.
