The new books donated are already making a profound impact on my students! These texts aren't just great stories; they are essential tools helping my students develop crucial skills. Specifically, this diverse collection is opening up vital conversations about empathy and cultural competence. By reading about characters in stories from different cultures and races, students are not only seeing themselves reflected in literature, but they are also stepping into the experiences of others. This is building a foundation for becoming thoughtful, compassionate citizens who understand the world far beyond the classroom walls.\r\n\r\nIn our room, reading is a dynamic part of our day. It takes many forms, ensuring students find their own way to connect with a book. We dedicate time to reading to self, guided reading within our curriculum, and my personal favorite, reading aloud to my students. Gathering together to share a powerful story is truly a unifying experience that builds community and models fluency for everyone. These stories show how your kindness is directly translating into a deeper love of reading and stronger classroom engagement every single day. Thank you so very much.","fullyFundedDate":1752162170747,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher-classroom-library/9409278/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Washington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10054046"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26087","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":242,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":26087,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Oak Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Oak Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/diamond-lake-school-district-76/diamond-lake-elementary-school/26087"}
