The new titles from the 2025 TAYSHAS Reading List have introduced a wider range of voices, perspectives, and genres into our classroom, giving students the freedom to choose books that truly speak to them.\r\n\r\nThese books are helping students build skills crucial to strong readers and thinkers: analyzing author's craft, identifying thematic complexity, making inferences, strengthening vocabulary, and developing the stamina necessary for reading longer, more challenging texts. Even more importantly, students are learning how to think deeply, how to question, and how to connect literature to their own real experiences and identities.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now looks like students spread out with books they chose themselves—some annotating quietly, others leaning over to share a favorite line, and many engaging in thoughtful discussions during conferences. With these high-interest texts available, students are reading more consistently and with more curiosity than ever before.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helps create a classroom where every student can see themselves as a reader—whether they're picking up a fantasy novel, a contemporary realistic story, a memoir, or a mystery. Because of you, they're discovering that reading can be both challenging and deeply rewarding.","fullyFundedDate":1742919873011,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-student-readers-new-stories/9185084/","projectTitle":"Empowering Student Readers: New Stories, New Perspectives, and New Adventures!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Branson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9679241_orig.jpg?crop=2176,2176,x0,y152&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755185325139","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9679241"},{"teacherId":7922888,"projectId":9118423,"letterContent":"As we read \"The Great Gatsby,\" my students analyzed characterization and themes in the text. It was amazing to see how they interpreted the actions and thoughts of the characters to identify what each wanted in life.\r\n\r\nWhen we finished reading, the table groups collaborated to identify various themes in the text and along with the chapters of the characters. It was a treat to see those with a personal copy annotate the text and make notes as we read. Several shared that they really liked the plot.\r\n\r\nWe also identified symbolism, especially with color. Fitzgerald loved art, and the students identified placed in the text that described objects to understand the meaning and connotation.","fullyFundedDate":1743005240835,"projectUrl":"project/the-american-dream/9118423/","projectTitle":"The American Dream","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shipley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7922888_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1669152706086","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sandi-shipley"},{"teacherId":2473754,"projectId":8629385,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project. It has made teaching about the Human anatomy fun and engaging for my students. \r\n\r\nWith the models, I was able to use them to model and demonstrate how the valves of the heart look, how the blood can travel in systemic and pulmonary circulation, how the brain looks, and how big some organs are relative to the others and the body. \r\n\r\nI was also able to create a Fetal Pig Dissection lab that utilized not only real fetal pig specimen but use the human torso model so students can compare and contrast the human anatomy with the fetal pig anatomy. Students had fun doing the dissection, they also enjoyed being able to see a 3D model of the anatomical structures of the heart, the brain, and the organs in the thoracic cavity.\r\n\r\nWith the models, I can continue to reuse the materials for the next classes and develop other activities with them.","fullyFundedDate":1727815584774,"projectUrl":"project/our-human-body-lets-learn-and-apprecia/8629385/","projectTitle":"Our Human Body, Let's Learn and Appreciate It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jatico","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2473754"},{"teacherId":9679241,"projectId":8831286,"letterContent":"My class is extremely thankful for your generous contribution to our classroom!
