Your contribution has allowed both my class and my teaching partner's students to embark on a captivating literary journey. Through Roz's adventures, our students actively engaged with key reading comprehension skills, including identifying figurative language, citing text-based evidence, analyzing cause and effect relationships, and exploring central themes. Furthermore, the novel provided a wonderful opportunity for students to expand their vocabulary.\r\n\r\nThe daily ten-minute reading sessions became a wonderful part of our classroom routine, fostering a love for reading and sparking thoughtful discussions. What was particularly rewarding was witnessing how this engaging story resonated with such a diverse group of learners, capturing the imaginations of students from various backgrounds and with a wide range of interests. Your support has not only enriched our curriculum but has also created a shared positive experience for our students, leaving a lasting impact on their literacy development. Thank you, again, for your invaluable support.","fullyFundedDate":1727988422127,"projectUrl":"project/the-wild-robot-comes-to-school/8842093/","projectTitle":"The Wild Robot Comes to School!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lund","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2740818"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40833","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1014,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":87,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":68.2,"schoolId":40833,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about C.R.
