Your generosity has brought a wonderful new collection of texts and the impact has been truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nWith these magazines, students are exploring a range of important reading skills and lessons. Many of the texts introduce strategies such as identifying themes, analyzing character motivation, understanding nonfiction text features, and building vocabulary through rich and varied language. Several of the articles offer meaningful lessons about empathy, perseverance and celebrating differences-ideas that are resonating strongly with the class.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a joyful and active experience. Students engage in daily independent reading, partner discussions, and interactive read aloud sessions. Our room is often filled with the quiet hum of students absorbed in a story, paired with bursts of excitement when someone discovers a powerful passage or an unexpected plot twist. The magazines have re-energized our library corner and students are eager to explore texts that feel fresh, relevant and engaging.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially captivated by the magazines. One student has been sharing facts from a new nonfiction title with anyone who will listen, proudly teaching the class what she's learned. Moments like these show just how meaningful support has been.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and in their love of reading. Your contribution has expanded not just our classroom library, but also our students' curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1759432252371,"projectUrl":"project/think-read-discover-empowering-studen/9482785/","projectTitle":"Think, Read, Discover: Empowering Students With Scholastic","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Egan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5262762_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588695921397","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5262762"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_99256","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":327,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":26,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.6,"schoolId":99256,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cross Hill Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cross Hill Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/yonkers-public-schools/cross-hill-academy/99256"}
