It was amazing to see each house in a different color, walking the halls, feeling proud of which house they were in. \r\n\r\nLater in the afternoon, students competed in a house competition. They did a variety of activities to earn points for their house.

We were able to make so many connections to previous texts that we have already read this year. There is a beautiful relationship cultivated between Charlie and a stray dog, highlighting the theme of animal companionship in children's books. Students compared and contrasted the characteristics seen in the two as they begin to grow closer, emphasizing the themes of friendship and emotional healing. We also examined Charlie's great friendship in her neighbor, Howard, who is able to teach her a lot about life with his simple but loving family.\r\n\r\nCharlie learns that what she frequently wishes for may not be what she really needs. This book lends itself to excellent conversations about the importance of foster care in our communities and the role they play in supporting kids. It also opens up opportunities to discuss ways to manage your anger and why others may have difficulty doing so.\r\n\r\nMy students warn that it's \"super emotional at the end.\" However, they also say that it's worth reading.","fullyFundedDate":1733870991063,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-classroom-wish-come-true/8989207/","projectTitle":"Help Our Classroom \"Wish\" Come True!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stokes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp153601_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1535899289861","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amystokes"},{"teacherId":153601,"projectId":8941289,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to our classroom.
