Early in my career I taught second grade, but then I spent the last 21 years in middle school so all the books I had collected were for that age students. I had minimal easy pattern books to send home with my kindergarten through third graders.\r\nMostly the books you donated go back-and-forth between the home and the classroom they practice reading and then come back and read them out loud to me. Other times the student and I read them aloud together in the classroom and then they take the books home for a whole week to practice. The children light up when they know they can read the book all on their own. They get just as excited to share their book with her family.","fullyFundedDate":1727982035868,"projectUrl":"project/home-to-school-connections/8769400/","projectTitle":"Home to School Connections","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. T.W.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9081771_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721854003944","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9081771"},{"teacherId":9084548,"projectId":7464344,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation! Both the students and I have had a blast using our new materials. We love following along in our books while listening to the audiobook. This was especially fun with The Crossover by Kwame Alexander; the voice actor reads the poem with such enthusiasm that during the action shots, I had 7th-grade boys following along, rooting for the protagonists by saying \"threee.\" This book is written in a series of poems, so it was a good introduction to poetry and how you can get a lot of information from a poem. This book explored various life themes, framing them under the title \"Basketball Rules.\"These themes ranged from family and brotherhood to change, self-discovery, grief, and loss. This was a fun read, and my 7th graders enjoyed it. \r\n\r\nIn the 8th grade, we read \"Ghost Boys\" by Jewell Parker Rhodes. This book was a heavy read, but the class was enthralled and invested from the very beginning. The book sparked critical conversations about our world and some of the issues that many of us face. We also followed along in our books while listening to the audiobook. Your generosity has provided great learning opportunities, allowing me to get the students excited about literature.","fullyFundedDate":1697489342152,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-literature/7464344/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Westrope","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9084548_orig.jpg?crop=2156,2156,x0,y704&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687807014680","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9084548"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57737","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":215,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":57737,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Leonor Hambly K-8 School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Leonor Hambly K-8 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/hayden-winkelman-unified-sd-41/leonor-hambly-middle-school/57737"}
