These books provide meaningful opportunities for students to strengthen important reading skills, including locating text evidence, analyzing information, and responding to open-ended questions using details from the text. Students are learning that strong readers don't just find answers; they support their thinking with evidence.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become an exciting, hands-on experience! Students especially enjoy using the black lights with their \"lightsabers\" (highlighters) to highlight important text evidence. The donated glow sticks and UV pens have added even more excitement and creativity to our reading activities.\r\n\r\nThe enthusiasm has been wonderful to see! Students who sometimes need extra encouragement to engage with reading are especially motivated by these activities. The opportunity to interact with texts in a fun and unique way has helped make reading something they look forward to. Thank you to our generous donors for helping us create memorable learning experiences and making reading even more exciting for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1787746292341,"projectUrl":"project/glow-read-imagine-a-narnia-experience/10346742/","projectTitle":"Glow, Read, Imagine: A Narnia Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alfaro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7972653_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721141131725","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7972653"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9791","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":399,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":9791,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about L.C.
