These books have opened doors for my students to explore the world beyond our classroom walls. Through nonfiction, they have discovered fascinating facts about science, history, and the world around them. Nonfiction has helped them connect classroom learning to real-life events and experiences.\r\n\r\nThe historical fiction books have had an equally powerful effect, allowing students to step into the shoes of characters from different times and places. They've been able to see history not as a list of dates and events, but as lived experiences. These stories have built empathy, helped them make personal connections to the past, and sparked meaningful discussions. Your donation has not just purchased books but it has helped cultivate lifelong readers and thinkers. \r\nThank you for making such a lasting difference in their education and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1744053123238,"projectUrl":"project/turning-pages-through-the-past-help-us/9237734/","projectTitle":"Turning Pages Through the Past: Help Us Read History!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ponik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7624481_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603978684789","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7624481"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82273","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":656,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":82273,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harding Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harding Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/kenilworth-public-schools/harding-elementary-school/82273"}
