Your kindness had an incredible impact on my students. From the very first chapter, they were captivated by the story and would often ask when it was time for ELA so we could continue reading together. As we worked through the novel, students eagerly completed vocabulary activities and comprehension questions for each chapter, and many even asked if they could draw scenes from the story as their imaginations brought Narnia to life. The book sparked thoughtful conversations among peers about story elements, characters, and predictions about what might happen next.\r\nMy goal with this novel study was to help students rediscover the joy of reading a real book and step away from screens—and thanks to you, it truly worked. Not only did they fall in love with the story, but they are now asking if we can add the rest of the series to our classroom library so they can continue the adventure. Even more exciting, they frequently ask what book we will read next, which is a wonderful change from where we started. Your generosity didn't just provide books; it inspired curiosity, creativity, and a genuine excitement for reading in my classroom. I am deeply grateful for your support and for the meaningful difference you have made for my student's.","fullyFundedDate":1766860992013,"projectUrl":"project/magical-books/9797952/","projectTitle":"Magical Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10304118"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52716","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":399,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":31.4,"schoolId":52716,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Filer Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Filer Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/filer-school-district/filer-elementary-school/52716"}
