I greatly appreciate your support of this classroom literacy project and it has been such a joy to share the books with my students. \r\n\r\nOccasionally, I hear students say things like, \"Oh, I don't read books,\" or \"I don't like reading\" or \"I haven't read a book since 5th grade\". As a teacher who knows that reading is the gateway to so much learning, it pains me to hear this and yet I know that the key to enjoying reading is finding materials that speaks to you. My hope with this project was that students would be able to find a book that they were curious about and would be willing to persevere through, and hopefully even enjoy. Although the books fell broadly under the genre of science fiction, so many of them deal with real social issues that students are aware of and concerned about, which created a genuine point of connection. \r\n\r\nAt the end of this project last year, one of the students who had previously announced \"I don't read books\" shared how much he enjoyed reading the book and even explained it to his parents in great deal. It was such a fabulous example of the power this kind of project can have in a classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1773844766347,"projectUrl":"project/its-lit-science-lit/10157581/","projectTitle":"It's Lit!

As someone who believes strongly in the power of project based learning, it is always such a joy to be able to follow through on student ideas and do real work with them. \r\n\r\nOne of the things that was so incredible about this project was seeing students conceptualize the entire thing from beginning to end: they identified a need in our school, brainstormed possible solutions, reached out to industry mentors to gather more information, and developed a series of prototypes for the system they wanted to build. They brought in classmates and adults to enact the project and committed themselves to working through the difficulties. They created a fully functional algae growth system that will allow us to feed our native oysters economically in the future. \r\n\r\nAs our school grows and builds our curriculum and expertise across a broad swath of the maritime world, it is projects like this that allow us to develop opportunities for students.
