With every student having their own copy, we can read and discuss the novels together as a community, without the limitations of sharing or waiting for books.\r\n\r\nBoth novels offer rich opportunities for building comprehension skills, making inferences, and analyzing characters, themes, and historical context. Holes captures students' attention with mystery, humor, and resilience, while The Watsons Go to Birmingham connects deeply to history, empathy, and social justice. Having these two texts as shared classroom experiences helps foster meaningful conversations about perseverance, family, and the importance of learning from the past.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these books provide a sense of equity and belonging. The donation also relieves financial pressure on families and ensures that all students, regardless of background, have access to high-quality literature.\r\n\r\nThanks to DonorsChoose supporters, my students will not only become stronger readers but also more thoughtful, empathetic, and inspired individuals.","fullyFundedDate":1746786308256,"projectUrl":"project/digging-into-stories-diving-into-histor/9254033/","projectTitle":"Digging Into Stories, Diving Into History","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Avila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9989176_orig.jpg?crop=576,576,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743535238393","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9989176"},{"teacherId":9989176,"projectId":9221829,"letterContent":"The headphones we received through DonorsChoose have made a significant difference in our classroom. Before, students often struggled to focus during independent work on devices due to background noise or poor-quality headphones. Now, with a class set of reliable headphones, students can engage more deeply with digital learning programs, testing, and audio-based lessons without distractions.\r\n\r\nThis has especially benefited students who need extra support, such as those working on reading fluency, phonics, or language development activities. The headphones have helped create a quieter, more focused environment, allowing students to feel more confident and independent in their learning. Overall, this project has improved student engagement, reduced classroom noise, and helped me provide a more personalized learning experience for each child.

These texts have introduced my students to a wider range of voices, themes, and perspectives. We've been able to explore essential skills like analyzing character development, identifying themes, comparing points of view, and making connections between literature and real-world issues. The richness of these new books has sparked deeper discussions and helped my students become more confident and thoughtful readers.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom looks like engagement and excitement: students curled up with books during independent reading time, lively literature circles where they respectfully debate characters' choices, and reflective journal entries that connect their own experiences to what they've read. There's a buzz of curiosity and empathy growing in the room, thanks to these stories.\r\n\r\nSome students who hadn't seen themselves in books before are now leaning into reading in ways they hadn't before. One student, in particular, who used to struggle with focus during reading time, has become a classroom book ambassador—eagerly recommending titles to classmates and even asking for more books to take home. Another has started writing her own short stories, inspired by the strong characters she's read about.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped bring joy, discovery, and a new level of learning into our classroom.
