Your support created an engaging and meaningful learning experience for our students.\r\n\r\nAs a class, we read the novel together and explored elements of fictional texts, with a special focus on animals and their defenses. The story sparked rich discussions about survival, adaptation, and how authors bring animal characteristics to life through storytelling.\r\n\r\nInspired by our reading, students each chose an animal to research. They investigated real-world animal defense mechanisms and proudly presented their findings through a \"walk-through\" presentation, teaching their classmates about camouflage, mimicry, venom, protective structures, and more. It was incredible to see their curiosity grow and their confidence shine as they shared their knowledge.\r\n\r\nYour generosity not only put books into our students' hands, but also helped foster a love of reading, research, and public speaking. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in the learning journey of every child.","fullyFundedDate":1763468612639,"projectUrl":"project/book-club/9903126/","projectTitle":"Book Club!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Goldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7034386_orig.jpg?crop=2021,2021,x0,y74&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663871037848","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/reachudlsupport"},{"teacherId":8430415,"projectId":9055029,"letterContent":"Our students have absolutely loved having access to snacks throughout the day.
