The new books you helped provide were carefully chosen to center diverse voices and experiences, and they've been instrumental in helping students explore themes of identity, justice, belonging, and empathy. These texts have allowed us to have meaningful conversations about race, culture, gender, and equity—conversations that are not only academically important, but also deeply human and transformative for our students.\r\n\r\nReading now looks and feels different in our classroom. Students are not just consuming stories; they're seeing themselves reflected in them and gaining new perspectives on others. One student, who rarely spoke up in discussions before, shared that she saw her own family's experience in a book we read. Students are feeling more and more comfortable discussing important and sensitive topics. These books are opening doors to understanding and compassion, helping students become not only stronger readers but also more thoughtful citizens. Your gift is shaping the way our students view the world—and their place in it.","fullyFundedDate":1738887284087,"projectUrl":"project/proudly-teaching-diversity-equity-and/9086292/","projectTitle":"Proudly Teaching Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through Antiracist Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carmical","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7894176_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1631804510483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carolinepeek"},{"teacherId":9923561,"projectId":9185101,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation of seat sacks, dry erase markers, and bulletin board borders, our classroom has been transformed in meaningful ways. The seat sacks have helped keep our students organized and focused, giving each child a special place to store their supplies right at their desks. During our recent literacy lesson, students eagerly pulled out their dry erase markers to write letters on their individual whiteboards. The hands-on approach made learning more engaging and fun!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement. They felt valued and ready to dive into their work with renewed energy. The colorful bulletin board borders have brightened up our walls, creating an inviting space that celebrates their work and achievements.\r\n\r\nWe plan to use the dry erase markers and seat sacks as part of an interactive writing workshop. Students will draft and revise stories directly on their whiteboards before transferring their final pieces to paper. Your support is helping us build a dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of this journey with us!","fullyFundedDate":1742582876396,"projectUrl":"project/creating-an-organized-and-inspiring-clas/9185101/","projectTitle":"Creating an Organized and Inspiring Classroom for My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morrow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9923561_orig.jpg?crop=4480,4480,x0,y313&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742327993189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9923561"},{"teacherId":7894176,"projectId":9090776,"letterContent":"I'm thrilled to update you on the incredible impact your donation has had on our classroom!

They immediately began organizing their materials and settling into their new, more comfortable learning spaces. The new sacks provide them with a place to store their supplies, helping keep our classroom neat and reducing distractions. This small change has made a big impact on how organized and focused they feel during lessons.\r\n\r\nWith the new seat sacks, they have quick access to their materials and can collaborate even more effectively.
