Thanks to you, our classroom now has a wonderful collection of new books that have truly transformed our reading experience.\r\n\r\nMany of you love to read, but as teachers, we know that learning how to read a book — not just the words, but the ideas beneath them — is a skill that takes time to develop. These new texts have helped us teach important lessons like identifying themes, analyzing characters' motivations, making inferences, and connecting what we read to our own lives. Our students are learning how to ask thoughtful questions, think critically, and express their opinions with evidence from the text.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is no longer a quiet, solitary activity. Students gather in small groups to discuss books, share their favorite passages, and even act out scenes. You'd be amazed at how lively and engaged our room becomes during reading time! We've created a culture where students are excited to talk about what they're reading and learn from each other's perspectives.","fullyFundedDate":1709771755689,"projectUrl":"project/students-love-graphic-novels/8113716/","projectTitle":"Students Love Graphic Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pandolfi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8986738_orig.jpg?crop=2030,2030,x247,y285&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679063083047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-pandolfi"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21525","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":570,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":42,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.1,"schoolId":21525,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Meadow Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Meadow Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/baldwin-union-free-school-district/meadow-elementary-school/21525"}
