The Celebrating America edition introduces meaningful lessons on U. S. History, national symbols, civic values, and American holidays while reinforcing essential literacy skills such as identifying the main idea, citing text evidence, building vocabulary, analyzing text features, and comparing nonfiction texts. Students actively enjoy the articles because they are short, visually engaging, and written at an accessible level, which helps even struggling readers feel confident and successful. During small groups, students eagerly discuss photographs, captions, and maps, ask thoughtful questions, and make personal connection to topics like freedom, community, and national pride. The interactive format- with discussion prompts and clear skill focus-encourages collaboration, boosts comprehension, and fosters a genuine excitement for reading nonfiction, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable.","fullyFundedDate":1758292360040,"projectUrl":"project/connecting-with-current-events/9557114/","projectTitle":"Connecting with Current Events","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beltran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp115937_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753335893779","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sandra-beltran"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102225","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":939,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":102225,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wetherbee Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wetherbee Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/wetherbee-elementary/102225"}
