Students were so excited every time I opened a box with new books in them. They couldn't believe how many new books we added to our library. Books like \"Sleepy Dog\" and \"Biscuit and the Great Fall Day\" have allowed beginning level readers in my class access to text that is at their reading level, which is hard to find in our school library as they are checked out quick.\r\n\r\n This completed project is even more special as our school librarian has been out since last year. This limits the amount of books they can check out and the books that are available to them. So, the added books in our classroom library from your donation have given students consistent and quick access to books and characters they love. \r\n\r\n I will forever be grateful for this donation. It truly has made a positive impact in our classroom and has all of my students excited about reading!","fullyFundedDate":1766438967699,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-read-heres-what-we-need/9944895/","projectTitle":"Learning to Read, Here’s What We Need!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rojas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10374406"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91805","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":35,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"22.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":91805,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mitchell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mitchell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/garden-grove-unified-school-district/mitchell-elementary-school/91805"}
