Your donation has made an incredible impact on our classroom, and I cannot express how much it means to both me and my students.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we now have classroom book sets, clipboards, whiteboards, snacks, a rug, a lamp, and posters, which have already made a noticeable difference in our learning environment. My students are absolutely thrilled with the new materials, and I can see their excitement every day as they engage with them. These items have not only enhanced our lessons but have also helped create a space where they feel encouraged, valued, and safe.\r\n\r\nThe positivity in our classroom has grown exponentially, and it's clear that the environment you helped provide has allowed my students to thrive both academically and emotionally. Their confidence has soared, and they are more motivated to participate and explore new ideas. You've helped foster a space that isn't just about learning—it's about creating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and joy.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided essential tools but has also given my students something priceless: the sense that they are supported, and that there are people in the world who care about their future. That is a gift they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.\r\n\r\nThank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for making this possible. You have made a real difference, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness.\r\n\r\nWith warmest regards,\r\nVictoria Novak\r\n\r\nPrairie Trail Elementary School","fullyFundedDate":1726682685426,"projectUrl":"project/ms-novaks-5th-grade/8692934/","projectTitle":"Ms. Novak’s 5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Novak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9700177"},{"teacherId":9765954,"projectId":8804131,"letterContent":"As part of my project, I asked for a class set of the book \"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry\", which is an all-time favorite book of mine since the day I first read.

Students will be able to learn new vocabulary through reading the book, as well as through background knowledge that they will receive prior to reading each chapter as part of their social studies lesson. The Great Depression and Jim Crow Laws are just a couple of topics we will be covering during social studies in order for students to gain some background knowledge before beginning to read \"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry\". \r\nAs for the Language Arts portion of the novel study, there are so many skills we can practice. Comprehension skills will be the main focus, which is why my students will have to complete a comprehension worksheet for each chapter. We will also practice making connections to the text, analyze the main characters, determine the theme of the book, as well as work on our writing by having to respond to both long and short-response questions. \r\nMy students couldn't be anymore eager to begin this novel study, as it is about a topic that interests them the most.","fullyFundedDate":1730733533191,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-limns-bilingual-5th-grade-classro/8804131/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Limón's Bilingual 5th Grade Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Limon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9765954"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_28860","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.4,"schoolId":28860,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Prairie Trail School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Prairie Trail School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/gurnee-district-56/o-plaine-school/28860"}
