These new books have added so much excitement to our classroom library and have given my 8th grade students even more opportunities to find a book that truly interests them. In our classroom, independent reading is more than simply completing an assignment...it is a time for students to slow down, get comfortable, explore new worlds, and discover stories that connect with them. I love watching students browse the shelves, recommend books to one another, and get excited when they find their next read.\r\n\r\nThese new high-interest novels are helping my students grow as readers while developing important skills such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, making inferences, analyzing characters and themes, and making connections between a text and their own lives. Most importantly, they are building stamina and confidence as independent readers. Some of my students who were initially hesitant about reading have been especially excited to explore the new choices. I have already seen students become invested in a story, eagerly turn pages, and tell their classmates, \"You HAVE to read this one!\" Those moments are exactly why I believe classroom libraries matter.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping me create a classroom where every reader has the opportunity to find a book they love. Your generosity has not only provided us with books...it has provided choice, curiosity, confidence, and countless new reading adventures. I am so thankful that you helped put more books into the hands of my students and helped make reading a little more exciting for every 8th grade reader who walks through my door!","fullyFundedDate":1789598538703,"projectUrl":"project/plot-twist-they-love-reading/10623715/","projectTitle":"Plot Twist: They Love Reading!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mineni","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6145095_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1545059642094","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msminenilovesbooks"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71531","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":937,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":59.2,"schoolId":71531,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mona Shores Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mona Shores Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/mona-shores-public-school-district/mona-shores-middle-school/71531"}
