Students practice comprehension strategies such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, and analyzing characters and themes. These texts also help build vocabulary and encourage critical thinking. Beyond academic skills, many of the stories explore themes like empathy, perseverance, and understanding others' perspectives, which are just as valuable for students' growth.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active and engaging process. Students participate in a mix of read-alouds, small group discussions, and independent reading time. We often pause to ask questions, make predictions, and connect the story to real-life experiences. Students may respond through journals, partner conversations, or creative activities like drawing or storytelling, which helps deepen their understanding and enjoyment of the text.\r\n\r\nI've noticed several students especially connecting with the new books. Some who were previously reluctant readers are now more engaged because they see themselves reflected in the characters or find the stories relatable and interesting. Other students who already enjoy reading are excited to dive deeper, asking thoughtful questions and making strong connections. It has been rewarding to see students grow more confident and enthusiastic about reading as they discover books that truly capture their interest.","fullyFundedDate":1700664948754,"projectUrl":"project/creating-passionate-readers/7436212/","projectTitle":"Creating Passionate Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Resendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2986309_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663039166919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2986309"},{"teacherId":2986309,"projectId":6797490,"letterContent":"Technology has made a meaningful difference in how my students learn by making lessons more engaging, interactive, and personalized. Instead of relying only on traditional instruction, students can now explore concepts through videos, educational apps, and hands-on digital activities that match their individual learning pace. This allows me to better support each student, whether they need extra practice or are ready for more advanced challenges.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the new technology is the opportunity to take ownership of their learning. They enjoy using interactive tools that provide immediate feedback, which helps them stay motivated and confident. Many students see learning as more like exploration or even play, which increases their enthusiasm and participation.\r\n\r\nI have also seen particular growth in students who were previously more hesitant or less engaged. Some students who struggle with reading or writing feel more comfortable using digital tools that support them with features like audio, visuals, or guided practice. Others who are naturally curious or tech-savvy have taken on leadership roles, helping their classmates navigate the new tools. Overall, the technology has created a more inclusive classroom where all students can succeed in their own way.","fullyFundedDate":1669786973819,"projectUrl":"project/smooth-transition/6797490/","projectTitle":"Smooth Transition!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Resendez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2986309_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663039166919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2986309"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14310","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":700,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":92,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":14310,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about N.L.
