Funded Oct 21, 2021From the bottom of my heart I thank for funding my project for a leveled library. It has meant a lot to my students who are reading on lower levels even though they are older. They are able to find books that interest them and can read these books. They have been working hard this year and are making strides in reading. It is because of donors like you who take an interest in supporting schools that students are able to get what they need. Students have books to take home to read as well with their families and return to get new books. The nonfiction books have been high interest for my students so I thank you all for your generosity.
Some of the lessons that I have taught students have been how to choose a just right book for themselves. These books are high interest but I'm teaching students how to look at the text and "test out" if the book is a book they can read. It's sometimes challenging but students are learning to do it and excited to pick from our variety of books.
My ENL students are especially enjoying the non-fiction books with real life pictures. ENL students need to build background knowledge about a variety of topics so these books are helpful in doing that for them. They really enjoy choosing the different books and everything is organized so well. Thank you all for your support.”
With gratitude,
