Through these engaging texts, students are strengthening their ability to analyze characters, identify themes, make inferences, and support their thinking with evidence from the text. The SSYRA books also expose students to diverse perspectives and experiences, encouraging empathy, critical thinking, and thoughtful discussion as we explore each story together during our whole-class novel study.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active, joyful experience. We have flexible seating, and students love choosing a comfy spot around the room where they can fully immerse themselves in their books. Our whole-class novel study allows students to read together, engage in rich discussions, and participate in higher-order questioning that challenges their thinking. Because of your support, reading has become a collaborative and comfortable experience that fosters both a love of literature and a deeper level of learning for every student.","fullyFundedDate":1762633225838,"projectUrl":"project/sparking-gifted-readers-with-ssyra-books/9746292/","projectTitle":"Sparking Gifted Readers with SSYRA Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bowe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3035057_orig.jpg?crop=484,484,x0,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745342861061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3035057"},{"teacherId":10041616,"projectId":9373286,"letterContent":"Thank you again for donating to my classroom!
