The new books have introduced them to different genres and topics they wouldn't normally choose on their own. It's been exciting to see students exploring everything from mysteries to graphic novels, and working hard to reach their reading goals. Even my lower readers are enjoying reading more because we now have a variety of books at their level. They feel confident and excited to choose books that match their interests and abilities.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is active and purposeful. Students use highlighters to mark important details, expo markers to track thinking on whiteboards, and glue sticks and scissors for hands-on reading responses. These supplies are used daily and tend to run out quickly, so having extras has been a huge help in keeping our lessons moving smoothly.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your donation has helped create a classroom full of curious, motivated readers!","fullyFundedDate":1746591299892,"projectUrl":"project/a-bright-future-for-6th-graders/9321064/","projectTitle":"A Bright Future for 6th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2309661_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x577,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746464899509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2309661"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32770","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":515,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.6,"schoolId":32770,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Valley Oaks Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Valley Oaks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/galt-joint-union-elementary-school-district/valley-oaks-elementary-school/32770"}
