They opened the door to a deeper understanding of Greek mythology, sparked imaginations, and ignited a love for reading in even our most reluctant readers. With a copy in each student's hands, we explored the stories together through daily reading, small-group literature circles, and rich discussions that helped develop comprehension and critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nThe excitement around *Percy Jackson* also led to engaging, project-based learning. Students researched gods and goddesses, built models of mythological creatures, and created their own \"hero quests\" using creative writing and art. It was incredible to see students take ownership of their learning and collaborate with enthusiasm and purpose.\r\n\r\nYour support made it possible for every student to fully participate, and for that we are so grateful. Thank you for helping bring mythology to life and making reading an adventure for our class!","fullyFundedDate":1705187275862,"projectUrl":"project/a-book-a-lightning-bolt-and-25-student/8143440/","projectTitle":"A Book, a Lightning Bolt, and 25 Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Amanda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9063947_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752539552507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9063947"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98802","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":84.2,"schoolId":98802,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about California Montessori Project - Elk Grove @ EG on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"California Montessori Project - Elk Grove @ EG","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/california-department-of-education/california-montessori-project-elk-grove/98802"}
