My students have a completely different perspective on reading and look forward to their 30-minute silent reading block every day. This is something new as reading has always been a hard one to push, especially engagement when reading. With these books students are intrigued and want to advance onto the next book in the series. They have been racking up reading steps like you would not believe!\r\nI strongly believe that reading can take children to different places when they are reading a book they actually enjoy. I tell them repeatedly that they do not need an airplane ticket and suitcase to visit some of these places and experiences around the world, because a lot of these books will take them there in their pages. I am very appreciative of your help in transforming the way my students view reading, and your contribution has increased the love of reading in my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1744245200418,"projectUrl":"project/book-hook/9228166/","projectTitle":"Book Hook","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Husen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8359217_orig.jpg?crop=2147,2147,x433,y231&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687357303324","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8359217"},{"teacherId":8664978,"projectId":9197006,"letterContent":"Thanks to a generous donation that fully funded our \"Rodeo Roundup\" celebration, we were able to end the school year on a high note. Our students had a fantastic time engaging in a variety of rodeo-themed activities, excitedly participating in games and challenges that brought the spirit of the rodeo right to our schoolyard. Dressed in their best boots and hats, the students' enthusiasm was infectious, making the event a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nEven a sudden rain shower couldn't dampen our spirits! With a quick and seamless transition, we moved the celebration indoors to the gym, where the fun continued without missing a beat. The change in venue allowed us to keep the energy high as students continued to enjoy more rodeo activities. The success of the Rodeo Roundup, despite the weather, was a testament to the community's support, and we are incredibly grateful for the donation that made this joyful end-of-year celebration possible.","fullyFundedDate":1744467235776,"projectUrl":"project/rodeo-roundup-celebration/9197006/","projectTitle":"Rodeo Roundup Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8664978_orig.jpg?crop=629,629,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699989734026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8664978"},{"teacherId":8664978,"projectId":9052250,"letterContent":"Thanks to a recent, generous donation, our Chinese New Year-themed center was a huge success. The donation provided us with authentic materials that allowed our students to fully immerse themselves in the celebration. With colorful decorations, traditional costumes, and pretend food, students were able to explore and learn about Chinese culture in a hands-on and engaging way. This wonderful contribution made it possible for us to transform our classroom into a vibrant learning environment, allowing children to experience a different nationality and its beautiful traditions firsthand.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this donation extended far beyond just decorations. It gave our students a unique opportunity to grasp the concept of different cultures and traditions in a tangible way. They excitedly dressed up in traditional clothing and engaged in pretend play, serving and sharing symbolic foods that represent good fortune and happiness. This experience not only sparked their imagination but also opened their eyes to the rich diversity of the world around them, helping them to see and appreciate the differences that make each culture special.\r\n\r\nIn a truly magical way, the donation allowed our students to \"travel\" halfway around the world without ever leaving the classroom. By creating a fully immersive environment, we provided them with a powerful learning experience that transcended books and pictures. They were able to step into another world, fostering a sense of global awareness and curiosity that will stay with them for years to come. We are incredibly grateful for the support that made this unforgettable journey of cultural discovery possible.","fullyFundedDate":1742006839101,"projectUrl":"project/2025-pre-k-chinese-new-year-celebration/9052250/","projectTitle":"2025 Pre-K Chinese New Year Celebration","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8664978_orig.jpg?crop=629,629,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699989734026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8664978"},{"teacherId":8664978,"projectId":9040569,"letterContent":"Our classroom has truly blossomed this year, and it's all thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors. Your thoughtful contributions transformed our learning environment, allowing my students to fully unleash their creativity and bring their wildest imaginations to life. Every project, every discovery, and every moment of inspired learning was made possible because we had the tools we needed right at our fingertips. We are immensely grateful for your belief in our students' potential.\r\n\r\nFrom the smallest art supplies that sparked vibrant drawings to the larger manipulatives that helped us grasp complex concepts, every item you provided played a crucial role. These materials weren't just supplies; they were catalysts for hands-on exploration and deeper understanding. Whether we were building models, conducting experiments, or engaging in collaborative problem-solving, having the right resources ensured that every student could actively participate and learn in a way that resonated with them.\r\n\r\nUltimately, your kindness has directly contributed to our classroom's success. With the manipulatives and materials readily available, we've seen remarkable progress in our learning journey. Students are more engaged, more confident, and more eager to explore new ideas.

The Wooden ten frame set and the Apple tree counting box are making a huge difference in my classroom. These tools help meet the needs of the different leveled learners I have, allowing each child to engage in math at their own pace. More importantly, they assist in creating differentiated lessons. This means that while I can teach the whole class, each student can also work on their own understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on learning.\r\nThe books you provided, especially \"A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue,\" have been incredibly relatable for my students. They enjoy reading this book and have gained a better understanding of the important difference between tattling and reporting, which is a valuable lesson for them. Additionally, the paper punches are a big hit! The students love using them to create fun pictures and crafts.

This proved to be beneficial at our recent parent teacher conference because students were able to bring me their binder and for the first time ever they were able to lead the conference by sharing their data and progress with their parents. My heart was filled with happiness watching this process take place.\r\nIt is because of individuals like yourself that our students get to see glimpses of kindness in a world that is not so kind.
