My students and I truly appreciate your caring and giving hearts. These books have made my students more eager & willing to read whenever they have some spare time in class. \r\n\r\nMy struggling readers now get up and take on the challenge of reading a thicker lengthier book. Even though the word count is larger than what they're used to, the visuals help them make sense of their reading. This is helping boost their confidence in reading independently. I've also seen some progress in their comprehension. \r\n\r\nThanks again for your willingness to donate some books to our classroom. I can't wait to see how these books impact my students in the years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1737694661553,"projectUrl":"project/building-fluency-comprehension/9045244/","projectTitle":"Building Fluency & Comprehension","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Melgoza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8675029_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662261414956","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8675029"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8131","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":378,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":100,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":8131,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Santiago Garcia Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Santiago Garcia Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/edcouch-elsa-independent-school-district/santiago-garcia-elementary-school/8131"}
