They also provide opportunities for building vocabulary and improving comprehension strategies like summarizing and questioning. Many of the stories introduce themes of perseverance, kindness, and problem-solving, which give us chances to connect the lessons in the books to real-life experiences and classroom expectations.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a mix of whole-group lessons, small group discussions (with book clubs), and independent practice. Students are encouraged to engage with the text by annotating, sharing their thoughts with partners, and responding to prompts in writing. Reading is interactive and collaborative—students not only practice comprehension but also learn to listen to and respect different perspectives.\r\n\r\nSeveral students are especially drawn to the new books, particularly those with engaging characters and relatable situations. I have some history buffs that are loving the Nathan Hale graphic novels. I've noticed that reluctant readers are showing more interest because the texts feel accessible and relevant, and avid readers are diving deeper into the themes and making strong connections across texts.","fullyFundedDate":1752115118409,"projectUrl":"project/a-journey-through-books/9221515/","projectTitle":"A Journey Through Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Poe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9471262"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8295","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":640,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":17,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.4,"schoolId":8295,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Deer Creek Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Deer Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/leander-independent-school-district/deer-creek-elementary-school/8295"}
