Students were very excited to complete this project as it involved their creativity and independence. With the fresh new supplies donated by you, they were eager to get started to complete the scrapbook.\r\nAs you can see from the pictures, they were very creative and surpassed my expectation. This is a project students will hold onto.\r\nThe WW1 scrapbook was used as an end of unit project/assessment. I also used it for a reference in a post assessment for the unit. It worked out great!

Students have read some of the spines of books like the \"I Survived\" graphic novels and are often found in the corner during independent reading time reading these novels. \r\n\r\nReading books at their level has helped them reach their Accelerated Readers goals since being added to the classroom library. I have found that students particularly like the novels that have pictures and use comic book style writing to bring writing to life. Many students have stated that they enjoy these books because it's like reading a tv show.","fullyFundedDate":1761938636065,"projectUrl":"project/books-every-reader-can-reach/9742113/","projectTitle":"Books Every Reader Can Reach","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Seckman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2985801_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473125444749","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/n-cottle"},{"teacherId":10298262,"projectId":9786357,"letterContent":"As soon as I unboxed this item the questions began pouring in.

I got permission from parents to make sure students were okay to touch and make contact with electrical charges. Once received, I used to book to model the demonstrations. Students asked questions like \"Does turning the wheel faster create more or stronger electric charges?\" \r\n\r\nWe all had an amazing experience and I am so grateful to everyone who donated. So excited to use this for years to come.
