Funded Sep 1, 2024I am thrilled to share the incredible impact that these books have had in our classroom. These engaging books have not only become a favorite among my students but have also significantly enhanced their reading skills and enthusiasm for learning.
When the books first arrived, the excitement was palpable. The students' faces lit up with joy as they eagerly explored the colorful pages and humorous stories. One specific project that stands out is our partner reading where one student is Gerald (elephant) and one student is Piggie from the book. This activity not only helps students be good listeners and follow along with their peers reading but also improved their comprehension and expressive skills.
Currently, we are using these books to support a reading buddy system and reading to self system. The next steps involve integrating these stories into our writing curriculum, encouraging students to create their own adventures inspired by Elephant and Piggie. Your generous contributions have truly transformed our classroom into a magical and engaging learning environment.”
With gratitude,
