Many students especially enjoy these books because they see themselves reflected in the characters and stories, which validates their identities and nurtures a sense of belonging. This connection sparks a genuine excitement for reading, as they realize that their stories and experiences are valuable and worth exploring, creating a classroom environment where literature becomes a bridge to understanding, growth, and joy.","fullyFundedDate":1728007631408,"projectUrl":"project/spanish-books-for-heritage-speakers/8827913/","projectTitle":"Spanish Books for Heritage Speakers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Joyner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9609635"},{"teacherId":377842,"projectId":8536491,"letterContent":"Your donations have been so instrumental in my classroom.
