A whole class set so that we can do a shared reading. This peice will fit perfectly with the material that my fifth graders are studying in social studies where they cover exploration and the discovery of the new world. I think it will be really meaningful for them to hear this told throught the eyes of someone the same age as them. Also, we got the text in Spanish so that we can stay in the target language in our dual immersion school. This will help kids make linguistic connections between the socials studies text, (English) and the historical fiction (Spanish). We are excited to get started as soon as we make it through some state testing.","fullyFundedDate":1768235370467,"projectUrl":"project/liturature-in-social-studies/9882040/","projectTitle":"Liturature in Social Studies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schulte","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7935610"},{"teacherId":1413510,"projectId":9920647,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to our Star Students!
