As English Learners, my students often feel a sense of hesitation when approaching long-form texts, but this project has given them the \"permission\" to interact with the story physically. By using the highlighters to identify key details and the sticky notes to ask questions in real-time, they are learning the high-level skill of active interrogation of a text. They aren't just reading words; they are identifying themes of resilience and migration, and they are gaining the confidence to \"talk back\" to the author, a skill that is essential for college and career readiness.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading no longer looks like a group of students sitting silently with their heads down. Instead, it looks like a vibrant, hands-on workshop. You will see students leaning over their desks, debating which passage to highlight as \"evidence,\" and trading sticky notes with peers to share their predictions. The colored flags sticking out of their books serve as a visual trophy of their hard work and deep thinking. Because the students know they won't \"mess up\" the book by using sticky notes, the fear of making a mistake has been replaced by a hunger for discovery.\r\n\r\nThere is one small group of students in particular—all of whom have recently arrived in the country—who have found a special home in The Circuit. Because the story mirrors their own journeys of resilience, they have been incredibly motivated to master the vocabulary. I recently watched a student, who rarely spoke in class, fill an entire page with pink sticky notes because he was so excited to find \"connections\" between the main character's life and his own. Your generosity didn't just provide paper and ink; it provided a mirror in which my students can see their own potential and a window through which they can view a successful future.","fullyFundedDate":1759512985955,"projectUrl":"project/building-thoughtful-readers-one-book-at/9554068/","projectTitle":"Building Thoughtful Readers, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ponce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10161236_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757567209492","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10161236"},{"teacherId":7984167,"projectId":9712128,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my DonorsChoose project and helping provide additional graphing calculators for my classroom.
