We love books just as much as you do! While you might not be in the classroom with us every day, I want you to understand how these books enhance my teaching . I use them for novel studies in small, skill-based groups, which allows me to provide targeted instruction and foster deeper engagement than whole-class lessons. This personalized approach truly helps every student grow. One book generously donated, \"Manatee Summer\" helped us explore themes like coming of age, resilience, and friendship, while \"The Lost Library\" was perfect for sharpening inference skills as students became detectives, using text clues to uncover character secrets.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active and dynamic process. Beyond silent reading, we engage in interactive sessions with close reading strategies, encouraging students to actively discuss, analyze, and respond to texts in various ways. These new books have been especially enjoyed by our students! \"Manatee Summer\" captivated those who love emotional stories and real-world connections, while \"The Lost Library\" was a huge hit with our budding detectives, boosting engagement with its suspense and puzzles.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is not just funding books; it's enriching minds and fostering a lifelong love of reading. Thank you for helping us bring these impactful literary experiences to our students.","fullyFundedDate":1744290625995,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-small-groups/9228616/","projectTitle":"Books for Small Groups","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9236816"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73880","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":380,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":5,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":null,"schoolId":73880,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Timber Trail Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Timber Trail Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/douglas-county-school-district-re-1/timber-trail-elementary-school/73880"}
