Each tile tells a story, reflecting the creativity, collaboration, and pride of our students. As they bring favorite literary scenes to life above our heads, they are reminded every day of the joy that reading and artistic expression can bring.\r\n\r\nBeyond its visual beauty, this project has been deeply cross-curricular. Students have connected art and literature by interpreting characters, settings, and themes through color and design. They have also practiced writing, research, and critical thinking as they planned and presented their ideas. The integration of reading, writing, and visual art has given them a richer appreciation for storytelling and creative expression.","fullyFundedDate":1758636777769,"projectUrl":"project/ceiling-tile-art-for-the-library/9710163/","projectTitle":"Ceiling Tile Art for the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Paine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6153582_orig.jpg?crop=1321,1321,x561,y138&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1567102896452","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/l-paine"},{"teacherId":6153582,"projectId":9663290,"letterContent":"These novels are being used across multiple grade levels during our daily Success Block, providing students with engaging opportunities to read, discuss, and analyze meaningful literature.

The digital timers have brought independence and structure to our literacy centers, allowing students to manage time effectively and transition smoothly through reading, writing, and vocabulary activities. Even our new rolling rack is making a difference by keeping reading strategies and anchor charts easily visible, supporting ongoing learning.\r\n\r\nWhat may seem like small items have had an incredible impact on both the atmosphere and engagement in our classroom. Students who once hesitated to read are now asking for \"just five more minutes\" of reading time. They're gaining fluency, confidence, and most importantly, a sense of joy in reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just fund materials. It helped create meaningful experiences that will stay with my students long after they leave 2nd grade.
