These texts allow us to focus on important literacy skills such as comprehension, making predictions, identifying main ideas, and understanding characters' feelings and motivations. We are also using these books to practice asking thoughtful questions, making connections to our own lives, and expanding vocabulary in meaningful ways.\r\nReading in our classroom is an active, joyful experience. You might see students gathered in small groups discussing a story, turning and talking with a partner, or independently exploring books that spark their curiosity. These moments are powerful reminders of how access to the right resources can truly transform a child's relationship with reading.\r\nYour generosity is helping create confident, curious readers who are learning not only how to read, but how to think, connect, and grow through books. Thank you for making this possible for our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1765205032055,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-thriving-together/9897107/","projectTitle":"Tools for Thriving Together","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Daruiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10351189"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18301","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":414,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":32,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.4,"schoolId":18301,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nancy J Cochran Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nancy J Cochran Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/nancy-j-cochran-elementary-school/18301"}
