Introducing "The Book Thief" to Creative and Motivated Learners!!

Funded Jun 19, 2016

Thank you so much for your incredible donation to so many deserving and dedicated learners. Words cannot explain the impact that this novel is having on these young minds. The children are not only engaged, but excited to learn more about this time period and the fascinating characters presented in this novel.

One interested and unexpected aspect of teaching this novel to my students is the correlations that they are able to draw between their own lives and that of Nazi Germany. With all of the unrest in our society and politics, the children are truly able to connect to the novel in a way that they may not have been able to do in the past.

The discussions that take place in our class our so enriching to not only the students, but to me as well. To see them so engrossed and enthusiastic about a novel has truly brought a new level of passion out of me as a teacher. I cannot wait to see where how things progress as we delve deeper into the novel. Thank you again!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Cimorelli
