Holding a physical book invites focus, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the story, allowing students to slow down, reread meaningful passages, and engage thoughtfully with the text. For many learners—especially those building reading stamina or learning English—paper books offer comfort, consistency, and ease of navigation that support comprehension and confidence. Your gift ensures that students have equitable access to rich literature and the opportunity to experience timeless stories in a tangible, meaningful way. Because of you, these classics are not just assigned—they are truly read, shared, and cherished.","fullyFundedDate":1746786096331,"projectUrl":"project/classics-re-booked-a-novel-approach-to/9192601/","projectTitle":"Classics Re-Booked: A Novel Approach to Timeless Tales","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Larson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9084738"},{"teacherId":9084738,"projectId":8517236,"letterContent":"For students learning English, access to materials in color is far more than an aesthetic choice—it is a powerful instructional support that makes language comprehensible, engaging, and accessible. Color helps anchor meaning by visually separating ideas, highlighting key vocabulary, and reinforcing patterns in grammar and text structure, allowing students to process information without relying solely on language they are still acquiring. Diagrams, anchor charts, and annotated texts in color provide crucial visual cues that reduce cognitive load, helping students connect new English words to images, symbols, and concepts more quickly and confidently. Color also supports memory and retention; when students associate a concept, sentence frame, or theme with a specific color, they are more likely to recall and apply that learning in speaking, reading, and writing tasks. Additionally, color invites participation and lowers anxiety—English learners are more willing to take academic risks when materials feel clear, organized, and welcoming rather than overwhelming. By making instruction visually intentional, color-rich materials empower multilingual students to access grade-level content, build language proficiency, and engage as active, capable members of the classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1730417352272,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-diverse-students-in-color/8517236/","projectTitle":"Supporting Diverse Students in Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Larson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9084738"},{"teacherId":9084738,"projectId":7989080,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, students were able to engage in a deeply meaningful Remembering the Holocaust project that brought history to life in both heart and mind. The butterfly art supplies allowed students to create symbolic works representing hope, remembrance, and the lives of children lost—turning learning into a reflective, hands-on experience that honored memory through creativity. Copies of Daniel's Story gave students a personal, human connection to history, helping them move beyond dates and facts to truly understand the impact of the Holocaust through the eyes of a child. Together, these resources fostered empathy, critical thinking, and powerful conversations about courage, humanity, and responsibility. Your support made this experience possible and ensured that students didn't just learn history—they felt it, reflected on it, and carried its lessons forward.","fullyFundedDate":1699629925789,"projectUrl":"project/remember-the-holocaust/7989080/","projectTitle":"Remember the Holocaust","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Larson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9084738"},{"teacherId":8114695,"projectId":9145310,"letterContent":"When teaching The Hunger Games in a 6th grade classroom, the novel provides students with opportunities to develop essential reading skills while also engaging with meaningful themes. Students learn to analyze character motivations, track conflicts, and identify themes such as fairness, survival, and sacrifice. The dystopian setting helps them practice recognizing literary elements like symbolism and world-building, while also prompting discussions that connect to real-world issues. These lessons encourage students to think critically about justice, resilience, and the importance of standing up for others.\r\n\r\nIn the classroom, reading takes on an interactive and purposeful form. Whole-class reading and discussion allow students to unpack challenging passages together, while small group activities promote collaboration and deeper thinking. Students use strategies such as annotating key moments, journaling from a character's perspective, and mapping relationships between characters and events. These activities not only strengthen comprehension but also foster higher-level analysis, communication, and empathy. By combining independent reading with shared discussion, students learn to connect personally with the text while supporting their ideas with evidence.\r\n\r\nMany students are especially drawn to the novel's action and suspense. Those who enjoy adventure and survival stories quickly connect with Katniss's courage and determination, while others are more interested in the moral dilemmas she faces. Even reluctant readers have shown enthusiasm, often motivated by the fast-paced plot and vivid world-building. The accessibility and depth of The Hunger Games make it a strong choice for engaging a wide range of learners, encouraging thoughtful reflection while building strong literacy skills.","fullyFundedDate":1746451189863,"projectUrl":"project/a-book-in-their-hands-a-world-in-their/9145310/","projectTitle":"A Book in Their Hands, a World in Their Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Julie Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8114695_orig.jpg?crop=1027,1027,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633392969368","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8114695"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69625","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1636,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"26.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":69625,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sig Rogich Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sig Rogich Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/sig-rogich-middle-school/69625"}
