These new texts have helped us build a stronger reading culture rooted in connection and curiosity.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is more than just decoding words—it's about making meaning, asking questions, and seeing yourself in the story. Students are practicing skills like identifying theme, analyzing characters, making text-to-self connections, and building vocabulary in context. These books have opened the door to rich conversations about empathy, family, and resilience.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who previously struggled to stay engaged during independent reading, now rushes to grab a book each morning. She recently shared, \"This character reminds me of me!\"—a powerful reminder of how representation matters.\r\n\r\nReading time in our classroom now feels joyful, reflective, and empowering. Your donation made that possible. Thank you for helping us grow not just as readers, but as thinkers and dreamers.","fullyFundedDate":1699373913350,"projectUrl":"project/leaders-are-readers/7918177/","projectTitle":"Leaders are Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Floyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7761411_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689993844493","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7761411"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6040","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":358,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":89,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.0,"schoolId":6040,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lewis Greenview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lewis Greenview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/richland-county-school-district-one/lewis-greenview-elementary-school/6040"}
