Colors Bring Words to Life
Funded Oct 18, 2022Students who make an authentic connection with literature is a priceless experience! In the words of a sixteen year old student, "thank you for giving me the chance to read this book. I would never have done it without you." This is an actual quote from one of my students after reading Chinua Achebe's Novel, Things Fall Apart.
Thanks to the generous donations our class not only read the novel but responded to the text using the colored pencils to create an image of each character, chapter, scene.”
With gratitude,

Put Down Your Phone and Read!
Funded Jan 27, 2022My ninth grade students in intensive class struggle with reading. Giving them a novel to read that was funded by Donors Choose was a phenomenal experience! I heard the students say things like, " I've never read a book before in my life" or " This book is really good miss" and " This is the best books I've ever read." We read together Star Girl by Jerri Spinelli. I modeled for the students how to think about the words and play them as a movie in their minds. We acted out parts and we drew the prom scene. I'm happy for the chance to give the joy of reading!”
