The sense of ownership they have developed in regards to their reading has boosted their confidence, it truly is a beautiful thing to see! \r\n\r\nStudents are engaged whether they are reading alone, with a partner, or reading with a group of students. Several students, in particular, have been especially engaged with the book series. They are eager to go on to the next book right after reading one. I've also noticed students engaging in discussion regarding the stories they've read. Overall, my students have demonstrated both enjoyment and deeper engagement with the texts.\r\n\r\nThank you for contributing and helping me create a positive and inclusive learning environment in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1753482586228,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-look-in-a-book/9480606/","projectTitle":"Take a Look in a Book!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Guzman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/guzman3"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77226","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":455,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"25.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":85.9,"schoolId":77226,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nell Dawson Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Nell Dawson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/coalinga-huron-unified-school-district/nell-dawson-elementary-school/77226"}
