These texts have allowed students to practice essential reading skills such as tracking plot and character development, analyzing setting, making inferences, learning vocabulary in context, identifying theme, and supporting their ideas with evidence from the text. Students are also strengthening the reasoning and written-response skills they will need throughout the year and on the CAASPP.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active and collaborative. We often begin with a short hook or prediction, read together, pause to discuss important moments, and finish with a journal response. Students participate in partner conversations, quick review games, creative challenges, and activities connected to the characters' decisions. For example, while reading *The City of Ember*, students have debated the fairness of the job lottery, investigated clues about the city, and tried to reconstruct torn instructions.\r\n\r\nIt has been especially exciting to see students who do not usually consider themselves enthusiastic readers become invested in the mystery. They ask to keep reading, react to cliffhangers, share theories with classmates, and use details from earlier chapters to defend their predictions. Other students have enjoyed expressing their understanding through sketches, discussion, games, and short written responses. These different ways of participating have helped more students access the same rigorous text and experience success.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students more than books. It has helped create a classroom reading community where students are curious, involved, and eager to discover what happens next. Thank you for making these meaningful learning experiences possible!","fullyFundedDate":1785164887364,"projectUrl":"project/ember-readers/10411609/","projectTitle":"Ember Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cota","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10562255_orig.jpg?crop=768,768,x170,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785024099546","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10562255"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40487","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":711,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":40487,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alice G Mulcahy Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alice G Mulcahy Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/tulare-city-school-district/alice-g-mulcahy-middle-school/40487"}
