When I first started teaching English at Carlsbad Village Academy, I was disheartened to see that we do not have a library here on campus. Obviously, I had to start building my own! We rely on donations like yours to help us build our collection of books that will hopefully help our students find their rhythm, and maybe even love, of reading. \r\n\r\nPeriodically throughout the year, I ask students to spend some time looking up new books they might want to read. I take their input and develop these projects. I cannot tell you how excited our kids get when I inform them that their wishlist has been fulfilled!

I cannot tell you how excited my students were to see brand new, comfortable chairs in our classroom.

Many of my students often come back to my classroom during lunch or after school to hang out in the comfy chairs during their free time. They absolutely love them!\r\n\r\nHaving these new chairs has also made moving into partners and groups an absolute breeze. Collaboration is a key part of learning success in my classroom. Our new chairs have wheels which makes shifting into a group or a new partnership so easy. \r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your generosity and will continue to enjoy these new seats for years to come.

When it comes to finding enjoyment with independent reading, one of our biggest hurdles is helping students find a book that they love and helping them gain easy access to that book.\r\n\r\nProjects like this one help get wishlist books into the hands of students so they can finally find some solace in reading.. Since students have started reading these novels, the feedback has been absolutely incredible! One student who swore that \"books hate him\" actually asks to bring this book home because he wants to read on the weekends too! \r\n\r\nKeeping this library updated is a major mission of mine so I can help students find their love of reading.

Having so much access to new titles has had an incredible impact on students' motivation and enjoyment while reading. Increased choice reading also helps them grow as readers.

In a world that is becoming increasingly digital and video-oriented, it's becoming harder and harder to foster a love for reading. Bu your generous donation of student-selected books has certainly sparked an interest in reading in my classroom.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of the year, I pushed out a Google Form to students and asked them to pick a book they really want to read. We spent an entire class period investigating a book of their choosing that correlated with their interests. By digging deep into some of these stories before they even hit the shelves, students were already invested in reading these books and were so hopeful this project would get funded. When I told my classes our project got funded, nearly every kid's face lit up. Even students who are typically very reluctant to read were incredibly excited to learn that we were getting some new books.\r\n\r\nI'm sure you realize the significant impact reading can have on one's life. I cannot thank you enough for putting these novels into the hands of my students. Seeing them connect with these books, hearing them enthusiastically talking about the plot, and watching them relax with a good book is my biggest wish as an English teacher. Your gift helped make all of this possible.

My students are very excited to read Maya Angelou's novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. While we have not started this unit yet, this was a text that students chose from a selection of possible novels we could read. When students have a say in what they learn, they are far more invested in their own learning. Your donation to our classroom has helped empower them. \r\n\r\nIn this unit, we will focus on exploring two key essential questions: \"What are 'little boxes' and how do they impact the individual?\" and \"How can and should we navigate a culture that attempts to define us?\" Students at CVA come from a variety of backgrounds and situations. They often find their way to our site because they didn't necessarily fit in at comprehensive high schools. They often found themselves failing their classes, experiencing isolation, and withdrawing from student life. This novel helps them understand \"little boxes\" and how society's expectations of the typical high school student don't work for everyone. They also explore how to express themselves and celebrate their unique abilities. These topics are always at the forefront of teenagers' minds and I'm looking forward to giving them a space in which they can unpack some of the situations they've found themselves in and figure out what it all means for their own identity.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your support. We wouldn't be able to dig into these topics without the generosity of donors like you.
