Because of your generosity, my 7th grade ELA and Social Studies students now have a class set of books that allows us to explore important topics in a way that is both meaningful and engaging.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things about teaching ELA and Social Studies is being able to connect what we read to what is happening in the world, both past and present. This book gives my students the opportunity to learn about the experiences of refugees, the importance of education, and the challenges people face around the world. It also encourages them to look beyond their own experiences and consider different perspectives.\r\n\r\nHaving a class set means that all of my students can read and discuss the same story together, regardless of their reading levels. The graphic novel format helps make the text more accessible while still allowing us to work on important skills like analyzing theme, using text evidence, and making connections to what we are learning in class.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, I want my students to become stronger readers and more understanding people. Books like this help make that possible. Your donation has given us more than just something new to read. It has given my students the chance to learn about the world and see it through someone else's eyes.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my students and helping me provide learning opportunities that might not otherwise be possible. I truly appreciate your kindness and willingness to invest in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1787585080503,"projectUrl":"project/stars-unite-us/10274559/","projectTitle":"Stars Unite Us!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4837997_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1506910819805","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4837997"},{"teacherId":304781,"projectId":10262851,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in donating to my students!!

Because of your donations, my students are able to transition to small-group instruction quickly and efficiently, giving us more valuable time for learning and instruction.\r\n\r\nThe new seating has been a fun and exciting change for them. They look forward to sitting on the stools, and the seating has helped create a more comfortable and engaging learning environment. The LED lights have made a positive difference as well. They have helped create a calmer classroom atmosphere and lessen the overstimulation that can sometimes come with traditional overhead lighting.\r\n\r\nOverall, having this project funded has helped increase both teacher and student effectiveness.

Your support has made such a meaningful difference for both my students and me. My students worked hard and did well on their EOGs last year, and I'm so excited to see how the supplies you provided are continuing to benefit my current students this school year.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite things to do is take our learning outside. In fact, my students practically beg to go outside anytime we have a worksheet or independent assignment! The clipboards and pencils have made it so much easier for us to take our work outdoors without having to worry about finding desks or a hard surface. It may seem like a simple thing, but these supplies have helped make learning more comfortable, flexible, and fun for my students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and in our students.

My third graders have a wide range of reading abilities, and these materials give them opportunities to read about topics that interest them while building confidence and stamina. The magazines and games provide an exciting alternative to traditional reading assignments and encourage students to see reading as something they can enjoy.\r\n\r\nMy students are learning that reading is not just something we do for a grade—it is a skill that helps us understand the world around us. Through these texts, students practice important skills such as identifying the main idea and supporting details, determining the meaning of unfamiliar words, making inferences, asking and answering questions, and using evidence from a text to support their thinking. The variety of reading levels also allows students to work with texts that are appropriately challenging without feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nI especially love seeing students who may not normally choose to read become interested when they find a topic that catches their attention. The colorful, high-interest magazines encourage students to explore new subjects, learn new vocabulary, and share what they discover with their classmates. The reading games provide another way for students to practice language and literacy skills while working together. These resources are helping us build a classroom where every student can find something worth reading—and where every child can begin to see themselves as a reader.","fullyFundedDate":1663728256397,"projectUrl":"project/reading-to-expand-knowledge/6487191/","projectTitle":"Reading to Expand Knowledge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Danza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2973437_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512491195835","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-danza"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2745","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":605,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":34,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":48.2,"schoolId":2745,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Greene County Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Greene County Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/greene-county-schools/greene-co-middle-school/2745"}
