Your support means so much to me and my students. Having a variety of books available in our classroom allows students to explore new stories, discover their interests, and develop a love of reading. Your generosity has helped make our classroom library a place where students can find books they are genuinely excited to read.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts of our day is watching students settle in for our 10–15 minute independent reading block. It may seem like a short amount of time, but those minutes are incredibly valuable. I love seeing students become completely absorbed in their books, eagerly turning pages to find out what happens next. One of my students is absolutely obsessed with The Wild Robot series and cannot get enough of the adventures. Another student has fallen in love with Gordon Korman's Everest book and is excited to keep reading to see how the story unfolds. I also have a student who is completely hooked on the Campground Kids series! Seeing these students find books that capture their attention and make them want to read more is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.\r\n\r\nAs a 5th grade teacher, I know how important it is for students to find books that match their interests and make reading enjoyable. When students discover a series they love, reading becomes something they look forward to rather than something they simply have to do. Your donation is helping make those moments possible. You are not just providing books; you are helping build confidence, encourage curiosity, strengthen reading skills, and create lifelong readers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping me create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to find a book they love. Your generosity is making a difference, one page at a time, and I am truly grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1787318758264,"projectUrl":"project/5th-grade-classroom-library/10281968/","projectTitle":"5th Grade Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7804561"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53144","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":768,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.4,"schoolId":53144,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elgin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elgin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/elgin-school-district-i-16/elgin-middle-school/53144"}
