In our specialized classroom, reading looks a little different for every student. We use books to build skills such as listening and attending, vocabulary, comprehension, making choices, answering questions, identifying pictures and characters, sequencing events, and communicating about what we see and hear.\r\n\r\nMany of our students especially enjoy books with predictable, repetitive language because they can begin to anticipate what comes next and participate in the story. We often pause to let students fill in a repeated phrase, point to a picture, make a choice, or use words, gestures, or their communication system to respond. We also connect stories to real-life experiences, classroom activities, and seasonal events so that students can practice using the skills they learn beyond the book.\r\n\r\nThe new books have also helped make reading something our students look forward to. Some students who may have difficulty sitting for traditional academic activities are eager to join us when they recognize a favorite book. Others enjoy looking through the pictures independently or revisiting familiar stories with a staff member or peer.\r\n\r\nFor our students, these books are much more than something to read. They give us opportunities to practice communication, comprehension, social interaction, attention, and independence while sharing something enjoyable together. We are so grateful to have a growing classroom library filled with books that our students can access, understand, and genuinely enjoy!","fullyFundedDate":1789606970093,"projectUrl":"project/books-that-bring-learning-to-life/10377581/","projectTitle":"Books that Bring Learning to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. W","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10550136"},{"teacherId":10365562,"projectId":9938637,"letterContent":"Our school is located in a very low socioeconomic level where many households are living below the national poverty line. Statistics show that low poverty levels equate to lower reading levels, at our school we are doing everything in our power to combat this statistic with as many opportunities to expose children to literature in every medium. For this project we chose to raise funds for a screen free library option for our students. Yoto Players seemed like a great option. We love that they are screen free, the card library has many stories and themes that pertain to our already purchased curriculums, and they give struggling readers access to literature that they might not otherwise have access to. \r\n\r\nWe've since purchased headphone splitters so we can get groups of 5 around one player listening to a story/informational text. We've also been able to use them during our small group and intervention times for lower readers so they can follow along with their physical copy and for higher readers as an extension to their book studies. While investigating more we have found that there are listening cards for math strategies, geography lessons, classroom movement breaks, and calming background noises. In addition we've found many resources that pair nicely with the stories that offer students comprehension activities. \r\n\r\nOverall, we are very pleased with this purchase and our students are gaining greatly from them.","fullyFundedDate":1765213132180,"projectUrl":"project/screen-free-listening-library/9938637/","projectTitle":"Screen Free Listening Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Meals","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10365562"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87758","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":249,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":87758,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Green Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Green Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/roseburg-school-district-4/green-elementary-school/87758"}
