When the original novel set we had planned to purchase became unavailable, I was able to find a different novel that I know my third graders are going to absolutely love. Even better, the new books were less expensive, which allowed me to stretch the grant funds further and purchase a brand-new pencil sharpener and classroom incentives that will benefit my students throughout the entire school year.\r\n\r\nReading is an important part of our day, and these new novels will give my students opportunities to practice skills such as identifying the main idea and supporting details, making inferences, determining character traits, summarizing, understanding vocabulary in context, and using evidence from the text to support their thinking. Most importantly, these books will help my students experience reading as something exciting and meaningful. We read together, discuss what we notice and wonder, make predictions, and talk about characters and their choices. I love seeing students get excited about a book and then share their thinking with their classmates. Your generosity is helping put engaging books into their hands while also providing tools and incentives that make our classroom a more positive and productive place to learn. Thank you for investing in our readers!","fullyFundedDate":1776182760817,"projectUrl":"project/unicorns-and-unique-novel-sets/10176432/","projectTitle":"Unicorns and Unique Novel Sets","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Steers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7517322_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599331244648","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7517322"},{"teacherId":10334853,"projectId":9868839,"letterContent":"As an educator committed to improving student learning and communication, I have found the Simify Writing program to be an invaluable tool in my classroom. Its impact has reached far beyond writing assignments—it has meaningfully enhanced my teaching practice, my students' confidence, and the quality of our classroom communication.\r\n\r\nSince implementing Simify Writing, I have seen a noticeable improvement in how students understand, process, and express their ideas. The program breaks writing down into clear, manageable steps, which has helped my students—especially struggling writers—feel less overwhelmed and more capable. They are writing with greater clarity, purpose, and accuracy, and the progress in their confidence has been just as significant as the progress in their skills.\r\n\r\nSimify Writing has also improved the way I teach writing. The structured framework provides consistency while still allowing space for creativity and voice. It gives me reliable tools to guide students through brainstorming, organizing, drafting, and revising. Because of this, I spend less time reteaching basic structure and more time encouraging deeper thinking and higher-level writing skills.\r\n\r\n\r\nOverall, Simify Writing has made me a more effective, confident, and efficient teacher. It has created a stronger writing culture in my classroom, improved student outcomes, and given me tools that reduce stress while increasing instructional impact. I am deeply grateful for the positive difference this program has made in both my teaching and my students' growth.","fullyFundedDate":1762836693763,"projectUrl":"project/strengthening-instruction-to-foster-exce/9868839/","projectTitle":"Strengthening Instruction to Foster Exceptional Student Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Streck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10334853_orig.png?crop=344,344,x48,y14&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761944544062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10334853"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52687","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":389,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":70.7,"schoolId":52687,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Plymouth Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Plymouth Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/new-plymouth-school-district-372/new-plymouth-elementary-school/52687"}
