Having a well-stocked and diverse library is essential in creating a welcoming and engaging reading environment. The new books have filled important gaps, ensuring students have access to a wide range of genres, reading levels, and topics that spark their interest. It's been especially helpful to replace some student favorites that had worn out over time—seeing their excitement when those titles returned to the shelves was a powerful reminder of how much these stories mean to them.\r\n\r\nThese replacements have also supported classroom routines and literacy goals. With updated copies, students are more eager to participate in independent reading time, book clubs, and reading challenges. The refreshed library helps foster a sense of ownership and respect for the materials, encouraging students to take better care of the books. Overall, getting these new books has not only restored the quality of our collection but also revitalized the culture of reading in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747669110901,"projectUrl":"project/re-fueling-a-love-for-reading/9330716/","projectTitle":"Re-Fueling a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Koeneman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6631767"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20692","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":20692,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woodlan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woodlan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/east-allen-county-school-district/woodburn-elementary-school/20692"}
