Blooming Bookworms
Funded Aug 9, 2022Thanks to your generosity we are able to expand our vocabulary and skill set thanks to the picture books we were gifted. We have been able to update our reading curriculum within our grade level, and engage our students like never before. My students are now able to use our grade level curriculum to build their stamina all thanks to these picture books. In the pictures I provided, we used the cockroach and slug book to compare two books as a text structure lesson. They were completely engaged as well as grossed out learning about cockroaches. My team and I were able to take an outdated lesson, and fully revamp it so that the students were about to connect with their experiences. I am truly grateful for the abundance of donations I received, and I know my students will be thankful for years to come.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 2 other donors.A Classroom Library
Funded Jul 26, 2016Your generosity and contribution to my classroom allowed my students to actively participate in book talks about a variety of authors, and enabled them to learn about authors such as author studies. They were able to take their individual books and incorporate them into our Daily 5 which then gave them the opportunity to AR test on the books to achieve their 2nd grade goal of reading 500,000 words at the end of the year. I was able to use these books as a method to teach fluency, inferencing skills, and many more skills that would not have been possible with the abundance of books that were donated. These books will be able to be utilized for many grade levels after this year which is a gift in itself. Thank you again for your generosity. ”
