As a school community we are excited to read new literature each month and display our learning through a variety of means. This lends our students to go beyond the reading and answering questions about text; rather pushes them to work cooperatively with others, use their imagination, creativity, and critical thinking skills; all while building a lifelong love for reading and learning.\r\n\r\nYour dontions are what make projects and learning like this happen!","fullyFundedDate":1764639926195,"projectUrl":"project/community-read/9770306/","projectTitle":"Community Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5538828_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531837745588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jamie-stein"},{"teacherId":8106417,"projectId":9664867,"letterContent":"As a third grade teacher, germs are bound to be spread.
