Funded Aug 9, 2023My students LOVE the books we received. I shared the books with my partner teacher so these donations have impacted two classrooms with a total of 16 kids.
By using these books we were able to talk about poetry the first week of school and students were allowed to write a poem describing things in their life that have impacted them and make them who they are.
By reading Holes, my students have practiced so many reading skills. They read to me, to themselves, with partners or they listen to me read. It is such a high interest novel they are completely invested in the story line and cannot wait to watch the movie.
By reading this high interest book, they have also been able to practice many skills that have normally been aversive. They are looking for text evidence, vocabulary words, inferences, and answering writing prompts based on the story.
I have seen so much growth within the past few months thanks to everyone that has donated! Thank you so much!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Giordano
