Thank you for supplying our classroom with much needed reading material! Our school is a Spanish Immersion elementary school where students practice reading skills in both English and Spanish.With 5th grade being a transitional year we have used these books to practice 20-30 sustained reading, English vocabulary word study, and creative writing. Through reading The Giver we were able to discuss SEL topics about feelings, freedom, safety, choice and more. These topics brought awareness of self and of the society they live in today. I can honestly say students enjoyed this book because it exposed them to a new genre of books they otherwise would have not chosen themselves, and it opened their appreciation and gratitude for their current reality. Once again thank you, we appreciate your support and generosity.”
With gratitude,

Thank you for supplying our classroom with much needed reading material! Our school is a Spanish Immersion elementary school where students practice reading skills in both English and Spanish. Having new English has been a big highlight of the year. With 5th grade being a transitional year we have used these books to practice 20-30 sustained reading, English vocabulary word study, and creative writing. Students have enjoyed writing sequels to their books and or creating different endings. Once again we appreciate your support and appreciate your generosity.”
