"Let's Find Out" About The World Around Us!
Funded Sep 24, 2022I am so extremely thankful for your generosity in contributing to this project. My students really enjoy these magazines. They cover real-life topics and themes that spark a lot of discussion and curiosities. The students love all the components that correlate with each magazine. The technology component adds to the excitement. There is always a video that introduces the topic and has good discussion questions to use. We always use the printables that extend the use of the magazine to check for understanding. Whenever we do a Let's Find Out the students are always engaged and interested in our learning.”

Funded Nov 26, 2019We are so thankful to have wonderful donors! The books we received were a great surprise. We really needed new leveled books for my classroom library. My students are reading more fluently, building their stamina and building their comprehension when reading their leveled books. They are always so excited to explore and read their books independently as well as share them with a reading partner. Completing this project has been so inspiring to both myself and the students in my classroom. We are extremely grateful for the resources we were given. You have made such a great impact on the lives of my students. Thank you again for all your support!”

"Let's Find Out" About the World Around Us!
Funded Feb 28, 2019We were so excited to discover that our project was fulfilled. The Let's Find Out magazine will give my students the ability to read about different topics on their level. It is difficult to find nonfiction material that is accessible to emergent readers. The topics that my students can now read about are exciting and relatable.
We have students on different reading levels in our class. Some students have a difficult time decoding new words and reading certain content vocabulary words. Let's Find Out magazines have pictures labeled, highlighted words, as well as repetitive sentences to help students with difficulties read and comprehend content.
All of my students are really enjoying reading about different science and social studies topics. With the access to the videos that correlate with the topics on the Let's Find Out website, it is a great exciting way to engage the students with the material as well as give them real-life visuals. They can't wait to read the magazine once they see the content on the online videos. Thank you so much for your generosity!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and 5 other donors.Leveled Books for Beginning Readers
Funded Nov 28, 2018Thank you for your generous contributions to my classroom. My students are excited about learning and reading their new books. My students have learned to track print, read from left to write, and comprehend their new interesting stories. They have also begun to make predictions, identify the main idea of stories, and make connections to the text.
Reading is an exciting time for my students in my classroom. They work together to develop their reading and listening comprehension skills. My students use these books to engage in think pair shares, turn and talks, and engaging discussions. Since my students are reading at a wide range of levels, reading consists of several groups and a variety of activities.
All of my students are enjoying their new books. They are intrigued by the books' bright colors, vivid illustrations, and interesting topics. They are excited to take their books home in their book buddies to read every night and have exhibited a new passion for reading.”
