Spy School Blackout, The House With No Keys, Phoenix, Dr. Zeuss, Curlfriends #2, and The Double Trouble Puzzle have been especially big hits. With just a week and a half left in the school year, one might expect reading effort and energy to start to drop off, but with this pile of great books, the kids are as engaged and enthusiastic as ever.

While any project that brings books into our classroom is impactful, this one has been especially powerful because so many of the books were selected for their potential to reach readers who face a bit more challenge when reading. Shorter, high-interest novels that have been designed for dyslexic readers (like The Griffin Gate and Finding Her Feet) have helped readers feel more confident and successful (while getting hooked on a new series). Having sequels to popular, accessible series (Max Crumbly, Max and the Midknights) has encouraged students to discover a new favorite series (that again helps them feel successful while reading). Of course, there were also a couple of sequels to popular books from last year's Book Madness competition, which created even more reading enthusiasm. Once again, our community's generous support has helped keep our readers motivated and moving in the right direction. Your support is greatly appreciated!

I know you were hoping to see lots of science projects come out of these texts. Unfortunately, so far, the science books have found less of an audience (though I know a couple of kids have been hard at work on a project inspired by the book about building a robot). The biography The Lost Women of Science is starting to gain word-of-mouth popularity, and, not surprisingly, graphic texts like Troubling Tonsils, Makers Club, and Witches of Brooklyn have been big hits. The novel, The Academy, is proving to be especially popular, and it is being eagerly passed around. It's a good thing I included its sequel in the collection, too! \r\n\r\nThe support you've provided to our 69 5th-graders has been amazing. Being able to provide them with dozens of new books has kept them motivated and reading a high volume and wide variety of books for the first several months of school. Their skills will continue to develop and improve thanks to your generosity.

We're a little over a month into the school year, and it has been so rewarding getting to connect the new 5th graders with new, awesome books. Your support of our reading classroom has made it possible for me to have perfect recommendations right at my fingertips. And when certain books aren't at my fingertips because someone else is reading them, I can apply a little encouragement (okay, pressure) to the other kids to keep up with their at-home reading and push to finish books in fewer days than they normally would. \r\n\r\nToday, the 5th graders will be turning in their first reading log of the year, and it will be fun seeing so many of the books from this collection in their reading history. I haven't run the numbers yet, but after a cursory glance, it looks like most kids read 6-10 books in the first month. Not too shabby!\r\n\r\nI look forward to continuing to hype and promote great books throughout the year.

Our 5th graders are rotating between three classrooms, and having music available has helped create smoother, more efficient transitions. When energy is lagging, a random 30-second dance party can be just the thing for getting kids back on track. The portability of the speaker will also be huge when we have the opportunity to share creative projects outside. I hope to add an external mic, which will allow kids to present to others in a more professional-feeling format. This speaker is getting steady use throughout the day.
