Like any other time we get new books, students immediately want to switch out what they are reading for something new. \r\n\r\nOur classroom library was very limited when it came to non-fiction. The addition of biographies and history books filled a much needed gap. It was exciting to see so many kids eager to learn about people who have helped shape our country and create opportunities for women, immigrants, and people of color. \r\n\r\nIt was also neat to see how much interest some students hd in the Titanic. It was a such a huge deal when I was a kid and when the movie came out, so this was somewhat nostalgic. There were also a few boys who gravitated towards the book on plagues throughout history. \r\n\r\nMy students enjoyed this project, and I enjoyed seeing them deviate from graphic novels to learn some neat history.","fullyFundedDate":1778086015401,"projectUrl":"project/neat-nonfiction/10192478/","projectTitle":"Neat Nonfiction!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Eichman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1906521_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1516224662442","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hollyeichman"},{"teacherId":471139,"projectId":10201776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my first grade classroom of learners.
