Roald Dahl's imaginative storytelling and vivid characters captivated their attention and encouraged them to think creatively. The book not only helped improve literacy and comprehension skills but also sparked meaningful discussions about friendship, bravery, and kindness. For many students, it was their first introduction to the magic of classic literature, and it played a role in fostering a genuine love for reading that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a joyful, dynamic, and integral part of each day. Students cozy up with books during independent reading time, choosing titles that interest them and match their reading levels. Whether they're diving into the adventures of The BFG or exploring nonfiction topics, you'll see focused faces, quiet page-turning, and the occasional whispered, \"Listen to this part!\" We also read aloud as a class, bringing stories to life with expression and discussion. Small reading groups foster collaboration and comprehension, while literacy centers provide hands-on activities that reinforce key skills. Most importantly, our classroom is filled with a love for stories—reading is not just a subject, it's an experience we share and celebrate together.","fullyFundedDate":1735658206233,"projectUrl":"project/the-bfg-our-newest-adventure/8966380/","projectTitle":"The Bfg Our Newest Adventure","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alvarado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9847536"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103760","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.5,"schoolId":103760,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Acero Charter School - Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz K - 12 School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Acero Charter School - Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz K - 12 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/uno-rogers-park-charter-school/103760"}
