These books allow us to dig into critical reading skills such as analyzing theme, identifying point of view, and making text-to-text and text-to-world connections. My students aren't just learning to read — they're learning to think deeply, ask questions, and support their answers with evidence.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom looks like lively discussion, quiet concentration, and even laughter when a story resonates. For many of my students, this is the first time they've truly seen themselves as readers. One student who has struggled all year is now reading ahead of the group, eager to share his insights with his peers. Another has started bringing her book to lunch, where she and a friend talk about the characters instead of their phones. These moments are possible because of the materials you helped provide.\r\n\r\nYour support not only filled our shelves but also gave my students confidence, curiosity, and the chance to fall in love with reading. We are so grateful for your investment in their growth.","fullyFundedDate":1748116627643,"projectUrl":"project/the-hobbit-project/9375081/","projectTitle":"The Hobbit Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Barkley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245456"},{"teacherId":3817372,"projectId":8557700,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of literature circle novels for my 7th and 8th-grade students. These books have transformed our reading experience and allowed us to build essential literacy skills in exciting and meaningful ways. Through these novels, students learn how to analyze character development, identify themes, make inferences, and support their ideas with evidence from the text. We've also practiced collaboration, active listening, and respectful discussion as students meet in small groups to share insights and challenge each other's thinking. These skills are not only key to academic success, but they also prepare students to become thoughtful, informed individuals.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels like a shared adventure. Students look forward to their literature circle time, and there is an energy in the room that wasn't there before. One student, who was previously hesitant to speak in class, has found confidence through her group's discussion of a novel with a strong female lead—she now leads conversations and offers deep, reflective responses. Another student, who typically struggles with reading fluency, has shown remarkable growth because he is excited about a book that connects with his personal interests. Your support has helped us create a reading culture rooted in engagement, curiosity, and growth. We are sincerely grateful for your investment in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727188494996,"projectUrl":"project/literature-circle-novel/8557700/","projectTitle":"Literature Circle Novel","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hadley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3817372_orig.png?crop=695,695,x0,y18&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1711140696533","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3817372"},{"teacherId":6562825,"projectId":8566475,"letterContent":"At the start of the semester, our classroom received a transformative gift: over 50 young adult books through a generous DonorsChoose grant. These titles, including the Disney Twisted Tales series and the Alex and Eliza trilogy, immediately captivated my 7th-grade students. The excitement was palpable as they eagerly dug through the newly arrived boxes, barely able to wait for the books to be unpacked. Since then, my students have been hooked on reading, rediscovering it not as a school assignment but as a joyful and meaningful pastime.\r\n\r\nThis donation has reinvigorated a love for storytelling and sparked curiosity in my students. Favorites like One of Us Is Back, the third installment of a thrilling murder-mystery series, and the Disney Twisted Tales books have fueled lively discussions and shared enthusiasm among peers. Students regularly check out books from my classroom library, excited to share their thoughts about the twists and turns of their latest reads. This shared excitement has fostered a sense of community in our classroom and cultivated a reading culture where students inspire each other to explore new books and genres. For many of my students who had lost their passion for reading in the transition to middle school, this collection has been a bridge back to viewing reading as an engaging, personal hobby.","fullyFundedDate":1727462987933,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-lennoxs-young-adult-classroom-libr/8566475/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Lennox's Young Adult Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lennox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6562825_orig.png?crop=1197,1197,x32,y102&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721780957797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6562825"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41845","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":66,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":65.3,"schoolId":41845,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Florence Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Florence Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/fremont-school-district-re-2/florence-high-school/41845"}
