This was a fascinating aspect of history that they would not have encountered in their standard curriculum. However, thanks to a generous book donation, they were able to explore new historical perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the American Revolution.\r\n\r\nThe students loved the books and found the books exciting and informative. It brought history to life in a way that traditional lessons sometimes cannot, allowing them to connect emotionally with the events and characters. Many expressed enthusiasm for the book, and I hope that this experience will spark a newfound interest in historical fiction and inspire them to read more titles from the I Survived series. Thank you so much for allowing them the opportunity to read the I Survived series as a group together and engage in meaningful conversations.","fullyFundedDate":1734038145639,"projectUrl":"project/i-survived-books/8992257/","projectTitle":"I Survived Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. English","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1492889_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1529438445519","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1492889"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60173","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":520,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":65,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":56.8,"schoolId":60173,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sonny Carter Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sonny Carter Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/bibb-county-school-district/sonny-carter-elementary-school/60173"}
