It's made our classroom feel more like a home, and that sense of comfort is already making a big difference in their focus and engagement during reading time.\r\n\r\nWith your support, students now have a dedicated space where they can truly enjoy stories and build their reading stamina.

Students having the ability to sit in various places around the room and meet in partnerships or groups gives them such a sense of independence. It is so vital that they feel they have some choice and say in their education.\r\n\r\nThey get so excited when new materials come into the class and the unboxing and unveiling is a special experience. It is so important that students move around the room and have choice. Studies have shown sitting still in one place is not conducive for productive learning.

I absolutely love reading, but didn't always. It took a very special teacher who took the time to really get to know me and match me with books that also matched my interests, etc. and once that happened...I LOVED reading. Now, as a teacher myself I am always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to reach my students and help them love reading too. I love to sit in a quiet space where I can really get into my reading, with a notepad, as well as add numerous tabs sticking out of the top for easy access to look at again.\r\n\r\nEveryday in my classroom is an opportunity to discover a new book and a love for reading. With the new books for our classroom library. Before this donation we had very minimal low interest books. After the donation we have so many good books that the kids are interest in and want to share with friends.\r\n\r\nWe use are classroom library as a place to relax and read for early finishers and as part of our literacy stations.\r\n\r\nMy students were so excited to see all the new high interest books added to our classroom. It has sparked a love for chapter books. This will be a great asset to my second grade classroom for years to come. We are forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746787392361,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-class-library-to-encourage-inde/9318961/","projectTitle":"Engaging Class Library to Encourage Independent Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Franklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp40853_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1453342452187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-jenniefranklin"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4442","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":601,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":73,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.3,"schoolId":4442,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lawton Alternative School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lawton Alternative School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-francisco-unified-school-district/lawton-alternative-school/4442"}
