While many of our donors are avid readers themselves, these new books do much more than tell a good story—they help us teach essential reading skills every day. The new texts introduce and reinforce skills such as making inferences, identifying themes, analyzing characters, building vocabulary through context, and comparing different texts within a series. Because students are reading books that genuinely interest them, they're more willing to slow down, reread, and think deeply about what they've read.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active and joyful. Students curl up with books during independent reading time, excitedly recommend titles to one another, and eagerly discuss characters and plot twists during small-group conversations. We use these books for book talks, reading conferences, and literature discussions, and students are increasingly confident sharing their thinking aloud. The variety of series and genres has helped every student find a book that feels \"just right\" for them.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant or reluctant readers are especially thriving. Some students now ask for extra reading time, race to finish a book so they can start the next in the series, or proudly talk about characters as if they were old friends. One student who struggled to stay focused during reading time is now deeply engaged, motivated by the familiarity and comfort of following the same characters across multiple books. These moments are powerful reminders of how access to the right books can change a child's relationship with reading.","fullyFundedDate":1760405093452,"projectUrl":"project/caldwells-classroom-library/9825025/","projectTitle":"Caldwell’s Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caldwell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9078857"},{"teacherId":6885205,"projectId":9579909,"letterContent":"During lessons, my band students are just discovering what it means to play an instrument consistently, stay focused in rehearsals, and build the habits real musicians rely on. The new fidgets and incentives have helped create a structured, supportive environment where students feel motivated to practice and meet our weekly goals. At first, the rewards served as powerful extrinsic motivators—students were eager to earn a small fidget, sticker, or prize for staying on task or mastering a skill.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is watching that motivation gradually shift. Once students started meeting their goals consistently, they began to experience the satisfaction of hearing themselves improve. A perfect example happened during our \"First Five Notes Challenge.\" Students worked hard all week to earn their incentives, but by the end many of them weren't even talking about the rewards—they were excited about the fact that they could finally play a clear, confident sound. One student told me, \"I don't care about the prize—I just want to get better.\" That moment showed exactly how these tools are helping students move from external rewards to internal pride and ownership.","fullyFundedDate":1760693581270,"projectUrl":"project/weekly-goal-met-extrinsic-to-intrinsic/9579909/","projectTitle":"Weekly Goal Met-Extrinsic to Intrinsic","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dani LeNoir","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6885205_orig.jpg?crop=1288,1288,x0,y343&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626292958421","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrslenoir"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_129327","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":645,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":129327,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about David E Robinson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"David E Robinson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/caesar-rodney-school-district/david-e-robinson-elementary-school/129327"}
