They have made a meaningful difference in our daily learning. In small group reading, students explore poems together, discussing syntax, unpacking new vocabulary, and thinking deeply about the author's message. Because poems are shorter in length, students feel less overwhelmed by the words on the page and are more willing to take risks as readers. The manageable length allows us to slow down, reread, and truly analyze each line. Many students who once felt intimidated by longer texts now eagerly participate and feel proud of their understanding.\r\n\r\nThrough your donation, our students have gained confidence, stronger comprehension skills, and a deeper appreciation for poetry. Thank you again for your generosity and for supporting meaningful learning in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1771207655138,"projectUrl":"project/creative-kids-poetry-edition/9940216/","projectTitle":"Creative Kids: Poetry Edition","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shelden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9927407"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26824","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":440,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.3,"schoolId":26824,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about G.N.
