These new books have not only expanded our classroom library but also provided rich opportunities for teaching essential literacy skills.\r\nWith these texts, students are learning to analyze characters, identify themes, explore story structure, and think critically about the author's choices. We're practicing comprehension strategies like making predictions, asking questions, and connecting the story to our own experiences. Students are also developing empathy as they step into the lives of characters very different from themselves.\r\nReading in our classroom has become an interactive, joyful experience. Students gather in small groups or cozy corners to read aloud, discuss favorite passages, and share their ideas. We have lively \"book talks\" where students debate character decisions or brainstorm alternate endings, turning reading into a shared adventure rather than a solitary task.\r\nSome students have been especially energized by these new books.\r\nYour support has made it possible for every student to experience the joy of reading, develop critical literacy skills, and build confidence as a reader.

One of my favorite moments was watching my students open their new supplies for the first time.
