  • Building Our Library With Diverse Books and Genres!

    Funded Sep 30, 2024

    My class is extremely thankful for your generous contribution to our classroom! Through these gifts, we are able to read new, exciting books everyday that allow us to deeply engage in the reading as well as learn from other points of view that are unlike our own!

    My students' daily reading lives have been so enriched through this project. They are able to have a variety of choice in their reading and are able to select books that align with their wants and needs in order to grow deeply in their literacy skills.

    Our summative projects have been made more interesting by these texts! They are more excited to do project-based learning because they have so many more options available to them! Thank you, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Branson

  • We All Have a Story: Exploring Immigrant and Refugee Experiences

    Funded Sep 3, 2024

    The books you have provided to our classrooms have allowed us to see a diverse range of perspectives through our reading! My students have been blown away with the stories of resilience and grit they have read. They especially loved being able to read some of these stories through the graphic novel format. Being able to visualize these stories provides a layer of depth and understanding to the trials that many had to go through in their lives.

    We are so grateful for your contributions to our library. My students were able to open up and share about their experiences more because of these books. Thank you, thank you!”

  • Full Stomachs and Growing Minds: Snacks and Books

    Funded Aug 17, 2024

    My students and I are so appreciative of the new books and snacks to add to our classroom experience. We have been deep into the use of these books, creating projects and analysis essays surrounding our reading! The books are receiving so much love and are in constant states of check-out. Some even have a waitlist! (What more could you want as an English teacher?!)

    Everyday we start class with fifteen minutes of reading, and these books have greatly improved the students' reading block. I know I am beyond grateful for the depth these new texts are providing my students as they consider the world around them.

    Thank you again for your tremendous support!”

  • Graphic Novels as Entry Points to Learning

    Funded Aug 28, 2024

    My students have been voraciously reading these new graphic novels! They have been so popular, I can barely keep them on my shelves! Students have been using these texts to increase their reading comprehension by tracking their reading through Reader's Responses. Each week, students have to respond to two analytical questions of their choice and explain their answers using their self-selected books (most of which have been these graphic novels). I have noticed an uptick in the levels of responses and I truly think students are thinking about their books more deeply now.

    I am excited to use these graphic novels to teach the "art" of this genre in an upcoming lesson! We will be anchoring these with Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" to gain knowledge on how authors and illustrators use color, white/black space, text, and paneling to covey their stories. I know students will love engaging in this work! Thank you for funding and supporting our students. We are better because of the community that lifts us up!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Branson
