I have loaned out most of them already. Students are more willing to read when the book is about something in their area of interest. Reading about things like stem careers, mechanics, professional stage make-up, career and college surveys all help the students think about their futures, which is something we start to do freshman year. The more they can think about what they want to do after high school, the more prepared they can be when they graduate!

The books I have just received will be very helpful to my students who need books for classroom silent reading and reading log homework. Our own library doesn't carry many lower reading level/high interest for teen books, so this gift is very appreciated.\r\nMy students are excited to read the \"Teen Book of Lists\" as well as biographies about their favorite sports heroes, money tips for teens, esports books and other titles that are highly exciting to them.\r\nThese books are a great way to help my reluctant readers actually enjoy, and look forward to, reading for pleasure. This project will benefit my students for many years to come, so it will have a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1778306341308,"projectUrl":"project/non-fiction-books-to-engage-readers-with/10277461/","projectTitle":"Non-fiction books to engage readers with learning disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2525049_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521576382195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dnelsonwms"},{"teacherId":5989521,"projectId":9893307,"letterContent":"I was able to use the chalk pens to review the Land and Water Use Unit 5 in my AP Environmental Science classes before our quiz. Students were delighted on being able to write directly on the black lab tables with an array of bright colors. Several made lists of related terms, others drew out what the terms meant along with connections between terms. They were highly engaged in peer to peer discussion. Students were quizzing each other and challenging each other to draw out big ideas of the unit. We were preparing for a quiz on Mining (land use) and Overfishing vs Aquaculture (water use). Students were drawing out the difference between ore, overburden, tailings and slag. They drew mountain top removal mining and the chemical equation for acid mine drainage. \r\n\r\nThank you for creating a spark in my classroom that supported learning. The chalk pens cleaned up easily (mostly) and the students quiz scores were among the highest overall this semester. It was clear they went into that quiz with more confidence and understanding based on their mutual support of one another. I look forward to using them again on Unit 6 Energy Resources and Conservation.","fullyFundedDate":1763596874362,"projectUrl":"project/environmental-hazard-testing/9893307/","projectTitle":"Environmental Hazard Testing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hadley-Hill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hadleyhill"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5241","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1753,"numTeachers":80,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.2,"schoolId":5241,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Windsor High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Windsor High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/windsor-unified-school-district/windsor-high-school/5241"}
