This allowed the students to see all of the many books in the library. We labeled the books and together put in the new with the old books. \r\n Since then students are using their reading cushions and reading to build up their stamina for reading and focus.

So often we resort to using the internet or technology for everything and we forget that there are other forms of research that can be right at our fingertips. Through these research books, my students will be able to use a variety of interesting books on the topics we will be researching throughout the year. \r\n\r\nI have already had multiple students asking to read the books in our new 'research library,' which is so exciting for me as a teacher! Seeing how excited they are to learn about topics that they would not usually learn in a regular education class (i.e.; Debate, Mythology, Mysteries, Space, etc), is something that makes me so excited for our future units and also gets them excited for their own learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1760651242992,"projectUrl":"project/research-like-geniuses/9829153/","projectTitle":"Research like Geniuses!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lingenfelder","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2887414_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682194436182","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2887414"},{"teacherId":9998082,"projectId":9254005,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generosity in bringing new resources into our classroom.
