Scholastic News has high quality, student centered non-fiction articles that capture their interest. Scholastic Storytime has a mixture of fiction and non-fiction that capture their more imaginative side. \r\n\r\nCombing these two resources allows me to have small group reading, whole group reading, and remote assignments for homework as well. The program allows the articles to be read aloud to them in case they are a struggling reader. It comes with skill building and comprehension practice.\r\n\r\nThank yoU!","fullyFundedDate":1787160748327,"projectUrl":"project/kids-do-love-to-read/10349728/","projectTitle":"Kids DO Love to Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McDougall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp29314_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459096252207","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/robert-mcdougall"},{"teacherId":29314,"projectId":10531797,"letterContent":"The kiddos were so excited to unbox the new camera. They loved the color and couldn't wait to SMILE for the camera. It will take me a minute to learn how to use this one, but I am sure with a little patience and practice I will be the next Ansel Adams of PS8!\r\n\r\nWith NYC having a cell phone ban now, It is difficult to take photos and not look like a hypocrite to the kids. Kids at this age are always thinking \"THAT'S NOT FAIR!\" so I needed a camera bad. My last one (also a Kodak, but about 15 years old) shot it last shot last year, so this new camera came at just the right time.\r\n\r\nOne of the special things about 5th grade is the end of the year slideshow with photos from the year set to music. I know that my classroom will be very well represented with gorgeous High Def photos thanks to the new camera.\r\n\r\nOnce again, Thank you sooo much!","fullyFundedDate":1790619542242,"projectUrl":"project/digital-memories-to-last-a-lifetime/10531797/","projectTitle":"Digital Memories to Last a Lifetime!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McDougall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp29314_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1459096252207","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/robert-mcdougall"},{"teacherId":9356606,"projectId":9732574,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations and fulfilling the entire project.

Tell them [the donors] thank you!\"\r\n\r\nTheir gratitude didn't stop there! When I revealed the headphones they all cheered!! \r\n\r\nEach student has been impacted your generosity, including students from other classes. The students from the other classes made observations of the butterflies, completed each Can-Do science kit, and shared their knowledge with their peers. \r\n\r\nWe cannot thank you enough for your everything you have done.","fullyFundedDate":1765811213219,"projectUrl":"project/listening-and-speaking-through-stem/9732574/","projectTitle":"Listening and Speaking Through STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9356606"},{"teacherId":29314,"projectId":9688342,"letterContent":"Wow, these kits are so cool!
