Having these new books gives students more opportunities to explore different genres, discover new interests, and develop a love of reading. The books help students build important reading skills, including fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, making predictions, and using context clues to understand unfamiliar words. They also give students opportunities to learn about new topics, discuss what they have read, and make connections to their own lives.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom looks different for every student. Some students enjoy reading independently, while others like reading together, sharing their favorite parts, or talking about the characters and events in a story. The new books have given students more choices and helped make reading exciting. It is especially rewarding to see students who may not always choose reading on their own become interested in finding a book that catches their attention. These books are helping our students grow as readers, build confidence, and discover that reading can be fun. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us create a classroom where reading is something to look forward to!","fullyFundedDate":1789005951083,"projectUrl":"project/library-books/10599786/","projectTitle":"Library Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. VonEye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7203617_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790175481017","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7203617"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91928","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":160,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":91928,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wessington Springs Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wessington Springs Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/wessington-springs-school-district-36-2/wessington-springs-elementary-school/91928"}
