They are able to find books that spark their interests, challenge them as readers, and make them eager to pick up a book each day.\r\n\r\nYour donation is doing so much more than simply adding books to our classroom. It is helping create lifelong readers. I have loved watching students recommend books to one another, celebrate finishing a book, and become excited about discovering what they want to read next.

The Magna-Tiles were earned a step at a time in a session, and ultimately students could choose to make an individual creation or work together as a team.

By using the iPad stand, every child in my classroom is able to see the necessary items that we are working on. I use it quite a bit as I am modeling how to do an assignment. This has come in especially useful as we have begun to learn a new method of teaching writing. \r\n\r\nThe privacy folders have been so beneficial. I love that my students are able to sit at tables. It only becomes problematic when I am assessing their knowledge. By using the privacy folders, I get a better idea as to how my students are doing.

We love to support our students' independent reading with something we call \"Book Chats.\" Book Chats are very similar to book clubs in the real world. Students are grouped together by reading and interest level and meet once a week with a trained parent volunteer to discuss the book they are all simultaneously reading independently. With this positive peer/parent pressure students end up reading about one book every 2 weeks! The most common problem I see with students' independent reading in 4th grade is that students chronically abandon books a few pages into them. With \"Book Chats,\" this isn't an issue because they get comprehension support throughout as well as the expectation that everyone in their group is excited and anticipating a discussion half way through and again at the end of the book.\r\n\r\nSomething special this year was your donation that funded new sets of books that are our school's \"Book Battle\" books for the year. Book Battles is a whole school program headed by our school librarian. Students are encouraged to read all or many of the books on the \"Book Battle\" list for their grade level. Then, those students, compete in teams to answer questions about those books in an after school club. Many more students in our grade level are participating than ever before because we were able to purchase sets of these titles. In this way, students are getting to participate in \"Book Chats\" AND \"Book Battles.\" Two birds with one stone! It is November and I already have 2 students who have nearly read every Book Battle Book! \r\n\r\nIt is truly exciting to watch reading catch on with my students!
