I first spoke to my students on why specifically The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene, was important to me and why I'm happy to share this love of reading with them. We read a chapter book every couple months as part of our book club series and started this book at the start of January. \r\n\r\nEach student has a journal they write in after every chapter is read aloud. We discuss what happened in the chapter we talk about characters, setting, plot & twists. We talk in a group about what we might do in a situation one of the characters was in. Some students like to write about the chapter and then draw a picture in their journal to go with it. \r\n\r\nWhen I told the students that they would be able to take these books home after our book club was finished they were so excited. One of my students had mentioned they do not have any books at home and this will be their first. I am so thankful for the donations of these books and I am grateful these books can go home with each of my students. My goal was to inspire my students to read and be interested in mysteries and I believe that goal was reached.","fullyFundedDate":1730133112176,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-ks-class-book-club/8794381/","projectTitle":"Mrs. K.s Class Book Club","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kloster","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9754412"},{"teacherId":8390411,"projectId":8869778,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students now have access to height-adjustable desks that provide them with the accessibility and independence they need to thrive in our classroom. These desks have made an immediate difference for my students who use wheelchairs and other mobility supports, ensuring they can comfortably and confidently engage in learning alongside their peers. One moment that stood out was when one of my students, who previously struggled to find a comfortable workspace, was finally able to sit at a desk that fit them perfectly. Their excitement and relief were evident as they happily worked on their assignments without the discomfort and frustration they had previously experienced. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new desks, their faces lit up with excitement. They were eager to try them out, and it was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm as they adjusted the desks to their perfect height and settled in to work. Now that we have this essential classroom furniture, our next steps are to continue fostering an inclusive learning environment where every student feels supported and valued. These desks will help ensure that all students, regardless of their physical needs, have an equitable space to learn and grow.
