Ever since I heard the author interviewed on a podcast, I have been blown away by the quality of these books. They inspire kids like no other book! They are true stories of people who have changed world and each one begins with engaging stories of that person as a child. I have chosen to allow the entire school access to these books and absolute love that your gift is impacting so many students!\r\n\r\nI read these books after lunch to my students. They love them so much and it helps them learn history, inspires little videos for us to search, and also lets them know what they themselves are capable of. \r\n\r\nI was able to start right away with my current crop of Kinders and even though they are a squirrelly bunch, they are listening with rapt attention to the story of Jim Henson. They laughed so hard when I showed them videos of the Muppets and ventriloquists, and I am having them use our classroom puppets/puppet show theater to try and create their own.","fullyFundedDate":1744226087770,"projectUrl":"project/ordinary-kids-can-change-the-world/9200350/","projectTitle":"Ordinary Kids Can Change the World","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vossler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7443573"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59700","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":459,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":64.9,"schoolId":59700,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Elk Meadow Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Elk Meadow Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/bend-la-pine-school-district-1/elk-meadow-elementary-school/59700"}
