Many students find new genres and topics that open their minds. It is lovely to observe the satisfaction students have when they find a book they've been wanting to read, or a series that connects deeply to their own life. Many students have borrowed these books and then passed them on to the next reader with positive reviews. It is evident that books and stories draw people together, sparking friendships and natural academic discourse.\r\n\r\nOf course, leisure reading isn't typically assessed by the text's content. Rather, the engagement and commitment a reader shows indicates overall growth as a reader. Students who struggle with some aspects of ELA class can still feel successful and welcome each and every day when they have the opportunity to participate in such a major part of ELA: reading.","fullyFundedDate":1756576227992,"projectUrl":"project/a-growing-classroom-library/9548928/","projectTitle":"A Growing Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Getchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10159930"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61665","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":965,"numTeachers":119,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.9,"schoolId":61665,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about 1Lt Charles W Whitcomb Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"1Lt Charles W Whitcomb Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/marlborough-public-school-district/marlborough-interm-elementary-school/61665"}
