I have enjoyed reading these new books during story time and I know that the kids love being able to check these books out and bring them home. We have a large population of primary Spanish speakers. The Very Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish has been great for both students and parents. It is a popular book in our school and now it can be enjoyed both in school and at home. We also received a couple of other bilingual books with this project and it's always great to have new books that our non-English speaking parents can read to their children. \r\n\r\nOur school is small, with the highest-grade being Kindergarten. Due to this, the most checked out series are the No David and Pete the Cat. It's been great to get new books from these series that we didn't already own. Although we had a copy of the Rainbow Fish and Giraffes Can't Dance, it has been nice to replace our worn-out copy for a brand new one. We are going to start our insect study soon with our emphasis on butterflies and I am excited to read all the new butterfly books we got. \r\n\r\nI appreciate the time you took to read my project. My students and parents cherish your contribution has made to enriching the joy of reading. You have given them a bigger selection of books to choose from and that makes the library an exciting place to visit.","fullyFundedDate":1727997171014,"projectUrl":"project/learning-with-our-books/8822247/","projectTitle":"Learning With Our Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kathy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9778709"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7303","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":112,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":93,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - K","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.8,"schoolId":7303,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Olympic Primary Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Olympic Primary Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/olmypic-primary-center/7303"}
