What I have witnessed however, has been nothing short of heartwarming.\r\n Our school serves a unique and diverse community of families and children. Many of our children come from low-income households and struggle to meet the demands of school. We also have students with special needs such as Down Syndrome, Behavior Disorders, other developmental disabilities, and physical disabilities. Most all students visit the library at least once a week to listen to a story and to check out library books. Now I know that I am able to offer books to all students so they can see themselves represented in the these stories.\r\n What I did not expect was the students without special needs to be so interested in the books. They are genuinely interested in reading books about kids with special needs!\r\n Thank you for making this project possible and for making our students feel so special!","fullyFundedDate":1746787197965,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-every-kid-a-library-of-belong/9218276/","projectTitle":"Books for Every Kid: a Library of Belonging","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Christi Somerville","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3521411_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457894244153","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3521411"},{"teacherId":9490457,"projectId":9229370,"letterContent":"My heart is full of gratitude for your generosity in helping me to build a math library. Kids love to be read to and have the chance to read books and look at pictures on their own. These books will provide me with a few classroom resources at the ready to share with my students, and hopefully provide meaningful and engaging opportunities for discussion and learning in a fun way. \r\n\r\nMost of the books I requested are for number recognition, counting, place value, and sorting, so I am excited to begin a new school year with extra books to build excitement about numbers and learning. From \"Ten Magic Butterflies\", \"The Animals Would Not Sleep\", all the counting books with ten little snowmen, Jack-o-lanterns, and fish to \"Drive-Thru Menu Math\", \"Math Pirates: Making a Sail for a Pirate Ship\", and adventures with The Arithmechicks in Subtraction, Addition, and Place Value , I can't wait to share the books with my students and show them that math doesn't have to be \"scary\".

The students are able to stay focused on their work because these chairs allow them to move their bodies while they work. \r\n\r\nWe have also been getting so much use out of the play doh. We use it to make letters, numbers, solve math problems, etc. It is also a very popular center and indoor recess choice.

Title 1 classrooms do not have a budget for classroom expenses, so your donations helped me open a classroom with supplies that I would have otherwise had to purchase out of my own pocket. \r\n\r\nThe clock, timer, and schedule pocket charts are beneficial in keeping us on time. \r\n\r\nThe laminating film and dry erase markers have enabled me to print games and activities that can be used multiple times with my students, thereby, saving resources.\r\n\r\nMy students are using the Uno cards for so many math activities (number/color recognition, sorting, +, -, x, ÷ facts games), Payday and Candy Land are favorites for our Friday Math Game Days.\r\n\r\nThe items your donations provided for our classroom are used multiple times each day. \r\nYou are appreciated are than you know!
