They love asking questions, sharing what they know, and making connections between their own experiences and what they read. Thanks to your generous support, they now have access to books that bring the diverse states of our country to life.\r\n\r\nThese resources are helping students build a deeper understanding of geography, history, landmarks, and cultures across the United States. As they explore each state through reading, they are strengthening important literacy skills, including reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking. The books have sparked meaningful classroom discussions and encouraged students to compare and contrast the unique characteristics of different regions of our nation.\r\n\r\nBeyond academic growth, these books are helping students develop a greater appreciation for the diversity and richness of our country. By learning about the people, traditions, and histories that make each state unique, students are gaining a broader perspective and becoming more engaged, informed learners. Thank you for investing in my students' education and helping them discover the many stories, cultures, and experiences that shape our nation. Your generosity is making a lasting impact on their learning journey and inspiring a lifelong love of reading and exploration.","fullyFundedDate":1783343297778,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-the-states-one-book-at-a-time/10199909/","projectTitle":"Exploring the States One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vogt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2635723_orig.jpg?crop=1738,1738,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651515339548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2635723"},{"teacherId":2635723,"projectId":10199931,"letterContent":"My students are naturally curious about the world beyond their own community. They are always eager to learn about different places, people, and traditions, and they love sharing their discoveries with one another. The books and resources provided through this project have opened new doors for exploration and learning, allowing students to travel the globe through reading.\r\n\r\nThese country books have helped students engage with global cultures, geography, and traditions in meaningful and exciting ways. As they read, they are strengthening essential literacy skills, including reading comprehension and vocabulary development, while also building background knowledge about the world around them. The resources have sparked thoughtful discussions, encouraged questions, and inspired students to make connections between their own lives and those of people in other countries.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project is helping students develop a broader perspective and a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity. By learning about countries and communities around the world, they are growing in empathy, understanding, and confidence as learners.

We were so shocked and thoroughly excited to have won! Our school, like many others, are required to have stations for each subject taught. In the stations are task boxes with materials to reinforce the lessons.\r\nFor example, when studying area and measurement, I locate challenging activities to reinforce what the students learned. They are usually paper copies that I have to cut out and laminate. The plain paper copies do last the year, even though the students try to be careful.\r\nYou have honestly saved the day!!! Each day the students are involved with the laminated activities and they love it! They get so excited when I bring new activities to use. It has made their learning and grades improve tremendously. The students don't have to be worried about tearing the paper activities, which makes learning more enjoyable as well.\r\nFrom our entire class and me, we want to send you a deeply heartfelt, \"THANK YOU!!!\", from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1759339016562,"projectUrl":"project/lighting-the-way-to-learning/9481976/","projectTitle":"Lighting the Way to Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Light","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9638926"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16675","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":441,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":71,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":59.8,"schoolId":16675,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rowland Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rowland Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/victoria-independent-school-district/rowland-magnet-elementary-school/16675"}
