They are loving using it for whole group instruction, partner activities, and small group work! They think it is so cool that their new spots have different colored smileys. \r\n\r\nWe use the carpet area a lot to collaborate and deepen our understanding of the standards. We can do turn and talk efficiently with our neighbors. This is such an important learning strategy to use so we learn how to discuss things with other people and so we can hear others thought processes to solving problems. \r\n\r\nIt is so wonderful that my students can feel safe, clean, and comfortable on their beautiful new rug!

The introduction of these fresh titles has sparked a noticeable increase in student engagement, with many children eagerly choosing books during independent reading time. The diverse range of genres, topics, and characters has captivated their imaginations and helped them connect to the material in a way that is both exciting and meaningful.\r\n\r\nMany students who were previously hesitant readers have become more confident in their abilities, particularly as they explore nonfiction books that align with their personal interests, such as animals, space, and history. The rich content of these books not only enhances their reading comprehension skills but also encourages curiosity and self-directed learning. Fiction books, on the other hand, have introduced them to new worlds, fostering empathy, creativity, and critical thinking as they follow characters through various challenges and adventures. These new books have become more than just reading material; they have become tools for expanding my students' imaginations and broadening their perspectives.\r\n\r\nOverall, the infusion of new books has reinvigorated my students' love for reading and has played a key role in fostering a positive and supportive classroom environment. Their growing interest in reading has not only improved their literacy skills but has also contributed to a deeper sense of excitement about learning. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share these new resources with my students, and I look forward to watching them continue to grow as readers and learners in the months ahead.","fullyFundedDate":1728009506607,"projectUrl":"project/bring-back-the-love-of-books/8754374/","projectTitle":"Bring Back the Love of Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Speer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9548869"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39751","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":198,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":47.3,"schoolId":39751,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bon De Croft Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bon De Croft Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/white-county-school-district/bon-de-croft-elementary-school/39751"}
