I want to share with you the impact these new books have had on my class just two weeks after receiving them! There is a significant push in our school system to move away from devices of all kinds (Chromebooks, cell phones, iPads, etc.) and go back to basics and that means focusing on group reading, reading discussion groups and read-to-self focused learning. \r\n\r\nThe response from the kids, especially with these current titles in our library has been overwhelming. They are very into the stories and our Drop Everything And Read time has been phenomenal! What a difference some current titles make in the life of these middle schoolers. It's also great that students don't have to wait for the copies of these books to become available at the public library because now the books are in their very own classroom.\r\n\r\nIt has been a wonderful and miraculous thing to watch!! Go Reading!!","fullyFundedDate":1764607801587,"projectUrl":"project/books-books-more-books/9591426/","projectTitle":"Books, Books, & More Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dougherty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1499514_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627236564919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsameewilson"},{"teacherId":1499514,"projectId":8817018,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for everyone's generosity and kindness! The students and I are so excited to have received all of these much needed items. It has been such a blessing to our classroom!\r\n\r\nThe books and other much needed supplies are being used daily and it has definitely enhanced my lesson plans, added much needed activities to our curriculum as an added resource and inspired the students to strive even more for excellence in their work.\r\n\r\nThe books were especially a hit as we waited to receive this wonderful book which is part of a series. Series reading seema to be a big hit with my sixth graders and this first book will only serve to spur them on to read more and more as the story unfolds. \r\n\r\nReading truly is fundamental! The more we can inspire and encourage our students to become avid book readers and love reading for reading's sake, the better! It is one of my personal teaching goals and I want to thank you for putting these books into hands that really appreciate them and will put them to good use!
