The SSYRA Program is an invaluable statewide reading motivational initiative designed specifically for students in grades 3 through 8.\r\n\r\nThe primary goal of the SSYRA Program is to inspire students to read independently for pleasure. It encourages them to explore a diverse range of books that are appropriate for their reading levels—whether on, above, or below—to enhance their reading fluency and comprehension skills. The selected Sunshine State books are recognized for their broad appeal, literary merit, varied genres, strong curriculum connections, and representation of multicultural perspectives.\r\n\r\nIn addition to fostering a love for reading, this program promotes teamwork, healthy competition, and essential goal-setting skills. Each year, Florida selects 15 engaging titles for the SSYRA, ensuring a rich selection for students to enjoy.\r\n\r\nIn our county, students in grades 3-5 have the exciting opportunity to participate in the \"Battle of the Books\" competition. During this event, students collaborate and compete by answering trivia questions about all 15 SSYRA titles, which enhances their understanding and engagement with the material. Furthermore, I incorporate these titles into our classroom activities by reading aloud to my students, creating a shared reading experience that sparks discussions and deepens their appreciation for literature.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generous donation. Your support plays a crucial role in fostering a love for reading among our students, and your contribution will have a lasting impact on their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1720391683936,"projectUrl":"project/sunshine-state-young-readers/8359610/","projectTitle":"Sunshine State Young Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Albro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3351341_orig.jpg?crop=320,320,x0,y4&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1616268198552","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-albro"},{"teacherId":3351341,"projectId":8936081,"letterContent":"The STEM skills that robotics teach are great for inspiring tomorrow's engineers, and the teamwork skills they learn through robotics are ones they will use for the rest of their life.\r\n\r\nWhen students work in groups on a project with a robot they quickly see that technical skills, such as coding, are very important. However, their robot won't move if they don't know how to collaborate with others and communicate their ideas. Through robotics in the classroom, students learn how to express themselves and listen and relate to others— honing valuable life skills.\r\n\r\nSTEM lessons are extremely important for students as they prepare to enter the 21st-century workforce. Through robotics, students can learn more than just how to code. They can learn skills in leadership, community involvement, communicating across different technology platforms, finding their passions, and teamwork, which will position them for success well beyond their school years.
