Your generosity let every student hold the book and see the structure of the poems. From the very first page, they began to identify the various types of figurative language that were used, even subtle metaphors.\r\n\r\nThe flow and rhythm of the individual poems made the story feel so personal that the class was caught up in it right from the start. When I had to stop reading each day, there was a collective \"awww\" because they wanted to keep going. At the end of the book, there was a huge emotional silence that no one wanted to break. Student reflections included \"new favorite book,\" \"poetry gave this story so much feeling compared to paragraphs,\" \"this book should have won an award,\" and other praises.\r\n\r\nThe students learned important lessons from Keet about perseverance and kindness, which have sparked meaningful conversations and changed how they treat each other. The day before state testing, they chose quotes from the book and wrote an encouraging fish note for a classmate. Our next step is to write to the author to share our appreciation and admiration for such a good book.\r\n\r\nWe are so very grateful for your kindness that made this experience possible. Catching a Story Fish is an amazing book and we can't wait to share it with the other 4th grade classes. The book is a keeper!","fullyFundedDate":1759634223606,"projectUrl":"project/reeling-in-poetry-with-catching-a-story/9786214/","projectTitle":"Reeling in Poetry with \"Catching a Storyfish\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298170_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y161&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759686557658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298170"},{"teacherId":4621545,"projectId":9249915,"letterContent":"The introduction of The Wild Robot by Peter Brown into our classroom has brought a variety of important skills and lessons to the forefront. Students are learning about themes like survival, adaptation, empathy, and the relationship between technology and nature. The book's central character, Roz the robot, challenges students to think about what it means to be \"alive\" and how one can learn and grow through new experiences. As Roz navigates life on a remote island, students are prompted to explore character development, infer motivation and emotion, and recognize the power of nonverbal communication and community building — all while practicing close reading and making meaningful text-to-self and text-to-world connections.\r\n\r\nReading The Wild Robot in our classroom has become an engaging, collaborative experience. We often read sections aloud together, followed by small group discussions where students explore the characters' choices and the challenges Roz faces. This active reading environment keeps students invested in the book and encourages them to ask thoughtful questions and share personal insights.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown a particular love for The Wild Robot. One student who enjoys robotics and technology is especially fascinated by Roz's programming and how she learns to become more human-like. Another student, who is usually shy, has connected deeply with Roz's sense of being different and has started to speak up more during group discussions. The emotional growth of Roz mirrors some of the social-emotional learning we emphasize in class, and students are not only enjoying the story but also learning to understand themselves and others more deeply through the lens of the book.","fullyFundedDate":1748442566531,"projectUrl":"project/chapter-one-help-us-book-a-better-cla/9249915/","projectTitle":"Chapter One: Help Us 'Book' a Better Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Giusti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4621545_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524165673985","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gayphilo"},{"teacherId":8176236,"projectId":6931577,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your incredible generosity my students were so excited to use the materials I was able to select for our Art lessons.
