The literature you provided has truly transformed our learning environment, fostering a sense of community among the students that we had not experienced before. Through the engaging texts you helped us access, my students have developed a deeper understanding of empathy, both towards each other and the individuals in their community. This shift has significantly enriched their social interactions and emotional connections, creating an atmosphere conducive to meaningful discussions and reflections.\r\n\r\nOne of the standout aspects of your contribution has been the introduction of poetry, which is a key component of the fifth-grade curriculum. This time, students engaged with poetry that resonated with their personal experiences, allowing them to connect more profoundly with the material. By accessing texts that were not only relevant but also reflective of their own lives, they were able to explore themes of identity, struggle, and resilience. This has not only enhanced their appreciation for literary art but also encouraged them to express their thoughts and feelings through their own writing.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, our reading sessions have become increasingly diverse, facilitating both individual and group explorations of literature. The addition of this particular book to our classroom library has been a tremendous asset, especially for my students, many of whom are first or second-generation immigrants. The poems within this collection resonate with their lived experiences, helping them empathize with the challenges faced by their peers. Overall, your contribution has had a lasting impact on my students, fostering a love for reading and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Thank you once again for your generous support and dedication to enhancing our educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1746786188988,"projectUrl":"project/unaccompanied-a-pathway-to-personal-gro/9308202/","projectTitle":"Unaccompanied: A Pathway to Personal Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7456952_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y265&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1624042939219","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7456952"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7037","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":433,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":7037,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Napa Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Napa Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/napa-street-elementary-school/7037"}
