Once I showed them the books they got excited about reading them. I currently have two live projects on DonorsChoose right now. The first one is for some power pens and reading quiz cards. My students will be able to get in groups or work independently on these activities. The second one is for some hands-on reading kits. My students will be able to do the reading lessons along with me as I explain the reading concept to them. They will really be able to get more engaged in learning and have fun at the same time with these activities.","fullyFundedDate":1735681396046,"projectUrl":"project/book-mania-in-first-grade/9017106/","projectTitle":"Book Mania In First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9873371"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82319","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":425,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":2,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.7,"schoolId":82319,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Evergreen Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Evergreen Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/scotch-plains-fanwood-school-district/evergreen-elementary-school/82319"}
