Your contributions have truly made a meaningful difference for my students. When the new books and materials arrived, my students were genuinely excited. I had one student create a book club without our team. The students were so surprised by all the titles because they were genuine books they were wanting to read but did not have access to them. This was exactly the spark we needed to fuel deeper engagement with literature.\r\n\r\nThis year, part of the curriculum, I wanted to implement literature circles again. Thanks to your generosity I was able to because there were many books the students could now choose from. Students formed small groups based on their reading interests and have been diving into rich discussions around character development, theme, and author's craft. One memorable moment was when a normally quiet, shy, student led her group's conversation with thoughtful insights that impressed everyone. These materials have helped foster not just reading comprehension, but confidence and a love of reading that will carry beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThey were able to make connections between the characters' journeys and their own lives which is the most powerful reminder of literature's impact. \r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students the tools and inspiration to grow as readers, writers, and thinkers in our world.","fullyFundedDate":1724499643051,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-my-students-an-even-playing-fi/8522222/","projectTitle":"Help Give My Students an Even Playing Field","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Livingston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7924297_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y113&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1653865409217","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7924297"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53469","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1974,"numTeachers":125,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.1,"schoolId":53469,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J.E.
