I am so grateful, as are my students and their families. We are reading the first of our curated library that aligns to our first unit The Thrill of Horror: \"Coraline\" by Neil Gaiman. Our curriculum is a good one, but it is digital. As a result, the students only read excerpts and short stories. I wanted to give them an opportunity to read an actual book, turn pages, and have discussion about what they're reading. Each of the titles will be used in Socratic and Literature Circles.\r\n\r\n Students were hooked from the very begining. We cleared our desks and just read for the enjoyment of reading. After reading, the students held collaborative discussions. These discussions were rich and included tracking Coraline's journey (monomyth) as well as discussions about parenting styles. I am fielding summative project proposals from my students; so far I've heard whispers about building escape rooms, models, and board games--None of this would be possible without your generous contribution. \r\n\r\nI can't wait to read\"The House on Mango Street\", and \"The Not So Private Letters of Private Nobody\" with these students. Reading books that complement our curriculum adds depth and engagement for us all.","fullyFundedDate":1758899273430,"projectUrl":"project/read-books-in-english-language-arts/9618460/","projectTitle":"Read Books in English Language Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4082993"},{"teacherId":4082993,"projectId":9094490,"letterContent":"Thank you for the classroom dictionaires and thesauri.

Although my 8th graders had a rudimentary understanding, it was clear that they needed assistance using desk reference materials when the ChromeBooks weren't available. \r\n\r\nYour gift met our needs.
