As you know, school budgets are tight. This means that there isn't always funding to complete less urgent projects like updating a classroom library. However, the impact of having brand new, high-interest reading materials at a variety of reading levels readily available to students is nearly too big to quantify. It's also exciting for me as the teacher to see students so excited to try new books. I've \"rationed\" some of the packages of books to carry the excitement through the school year. It's been so much fun opening a new box or envelope of books every week or two and adding to our library. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the book ends purchased have allowed us to organize our classroom library in a way that allows students to find and select books easier, based on author and/or genre. This update not only makes our classroom look better, it also feels better knowing there is a wide variety of reading materials available to readers of all abilities in my classroom. Thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1726019241154,"projectUrl":"project/hook-books-to-make-every-student-a-reade/8751710/","projectTitle":"Hook Books to Make Every Student a Reader!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dunkelberger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3579395"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78413","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":143,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.9,"schoolId":78413,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fair-Mont-Egan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fair-Mont-Egan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/fair-mont-egan-school-dist-3/fair-mont-egan-elementary-school/78413"}
