The new rotating bookshelf and acrylic book display stands have helped us showcase books in a way that immediately catches students' attention and encourages them to explore new genres and authors.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, the students were thrilled. As we assembled the spinning bookshelf, they eagerly sorted and organized books, discussing which titles should be featured on the display stands. One memorable moment was watching students who don't typically gravitate toward independent reading stop to browse the featured books and excitedly add new titles to their reading lists.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using these resources during our independent and partner reading block boo, home reading bags, and recommendation activities. The rotating bookshelf allows students to easily access books from all sides, while the display stands highlight seasonal, student-recommended, and high-interest titles. This has sparked more conversations about books and increased excitement around reading.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, students will continue using these resources as part of our reading workshop model. They are preparing book talks and creating recommendation displays for their classmates, helping to build a strong reading community within our classroom. We are also planning to rotate themed book collections throughout the year to keep students engaged and encourage them to discover new favorites.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a classroom environment where books are celebrated and reading is an adventure. Your support is making a lasting impact on our students' love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1772400399819,"projectUrl":"project/maximizing-space-maximizing-reading/10089600/","projectTitle":"Maximizing Space, Maximizing Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3681441_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763851934589","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3681441"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36890","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":51,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"8.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":56.7,"schoolId":36890,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ridgeland - Dallas Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ridgeland - Dallas Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/barron-area-school-district/ridgeland-dallas-elementary-school/36890"}
