I can't wait to read about their favorite books, their biggest success in school, and their biggest challenge in life. They also have the option to write down questions that they may not feel comfortable asking in front of other students yet. So far, the only two questions have been \"Do you think I should name my cat Augustus or Hercules?\" and \"Who can I suggest more vegetarian lunch options to?\" I love this!\r\n\r\nSophomores read Ruta Sepetys' historical novel Between Shades of Gray for their summer assignment and are currently completing character profiles to help them review for their upcoming assessments. The glue sticks, rulers, and paper have helped them organize all of the information they need for the upcoming gallery walk, which should be an effective review. The packing tape will make sure their work stays on the walls!\r\n\r\nOn behalf of my students, thank you again for providing them with so many materials that will help them succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1742920922068,"projectUrl":"project/the-tools-to-succeed/9178641/","projectTitle":"The Tools to Succeed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Apostolos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1393719_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503321604154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/apostolos"},{"teacherId":3278311,"projectId":8920717,"letterContent":"Your generosity provided my students the opportunity to adventure with Bilbo Baggins and strengthen our reading ability as well as our understanding of how characters develop and evolve through their journeys.\r\nWe read The Hobbit as part of our second unit this year, \"The Call to Adventure\". It was incredible to have copies of The Hobbit to have students bring home and enjoy to supplement the informational texts we were tackling together in the classroom.\r\nIt is the charity of people like you that enriches the education of urban, public school students.

The students were able to complete a recipe project using the concepts of multiplying and dividing fractions. They had cut a recipe in half, double, and triple it. Then we're were able to make dirt pudding to enjoy with each other as well as make recipe pages to make a recipe book. They decorated their pages and were able to use the materials donated to do so.

For their final projects, students tracked a character and analyzed how he, she, or they represented one of the novel's themes. I initially thought most students would choose Avery - and some did - but I also read insightful analyses of Grayson, Xander, and even Nash. One student asked if his mother could borrow the book over winter break (yes, of course!) and she emailed me to say how much she enjoyed discussing the novel with her son.\r\n\r\nStudents are currently reading The Hobbit; last Friday they made character portraits for Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and Thorin.
