I have been encouraging students to become more independent learners and use their resources that are provided to them. One moment that recently happened was that multiple students in a group did not know the meaning of a word in their reading. Instead of asking me what the word meant, they problem solved and got out a dictionary themselves! They found the word, and were very proud of themselves. They shared the meaning of the word with me, and the class.\r\n\r\nMy students were very excited to see the new dictionaries! many of them wanted to look through them immeadiately, and of course, smell all the pages! Something about the smell of a new book!\r\n\r\nOur next steps as a class is to continue using these dictionaries on the daily. There are so many opputunities to learn new words in ELA and Social Studies, and learn them independently as well. My goal is for students to become more confident and independent when they encounter unfamiliar words rather than seeing challenging vocabulary as an obstacle.","fullyFundedDate":1779656539550,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-look-its-in-a-book/10117366/","projectTitle":"Take A Look, It's In A Book!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rath","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9732203_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771884072576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9732203"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63334","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1200,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"28.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":63334,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Valley Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Valley Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/west-valley-school-district-208/west-valley-middle-school/63334"}
