"My kids are fabulous first graders who love to read! I teach these wonderful children who need to read and love to read.

I am teaching reading workshop and my students need leveled books to read. We need books that will empower my students to read by using reading strategies that will help them read.

My students need a library of leveled books that are on their reading level. If these students receive these books that are on their level, it will make their reading soar!

You will make it possible for my students to love reading even more. Your help will empower my students to read at their own reading level. They will grow in their reading to become great readers.

My students need a Leveled Books Classroom Library. The cost of this proposal is $689, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."

Dear U S Aggregates/Jeff Brown, 

This is just a small way to say a BIG THANK YOU for our new classroom books. We use these books every single day. My students love to read and they can't wait to read new books. These books have helped my students become better readers. They are so excited when they can go into the new book tubs and read the books from their own level of reading.

My students can't wait to move up to their next reading level so that they can read more books. These books will impact not only my students this year, but also students in the future.

Once again, thank you so much for your generous donation. My students say a big thank you as well.

With gratitude,
Mrs. J.

Dear U S Aggregates/Jeff Brown, 
I cannot fully express my gratitude to you in giving my class these books. My students will be so excited to get more books and books that they will be able to read! You have given these children a reason to love to read.
The books that you have funded will dramatically improve my student's reading skills. They will be able to read books at their own level, in return they will enjoy reading. They love to read and will greatly enjoy these books that they are able to read. Their reading will soar to new heights. We will be able to use these books everyday and every child will get a chance to read each book.
Thank you so much for your contribution. I can't wait to share with you are gratitude and love for these books. Thank you for your part in educating our children.

With gratitude,
Mrs. J.
