We just finished reading this book and the students LOVED it. I had to instruct a number of students to slow down and stay with the pacing of the class. They loved it that much.\r\n\r\nI am a firm believer that it just takes the right book for any student to become a voracious reader. I've had at least two dozen students ask for book recommendations after reading this book. My hope is that they will become lifelong readers.\r\n\r\nYou are the reason this was able to happen.

At the beginning of the period, we would start off the class with reading silently for the first 10 minutes. Before I even said anything, they would come to class and pick up the book to read. \r\n\r\nBeyond entertainment, the books served as windows to the wider world, helping students make meaningful connections to what was happening in the world. This was especially true once we saw what was happening in the news with Iran. These connections helped to create deeper engagement with the text. \r\n\r\nThank you for giving our kids the opportunity to read and realize that reading can be fun and informative.","fullyFundedDate":1760669182881,"projectUrl":"project/using-graphic-novels-to-teach-world-hist/9819877/","projectTitle":"Using Graphic Novels to Teach World History","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Won","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10055614_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x217,y246&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760266209480","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10055614"},{"teacherId":2045164,"projectId":9766636,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support toward the Eagle Rock High School Orchestra. Our new projector has made all the difference in running successful lessons and allowing students to present their creative projects and passions. Students utilized the classroom projector in their recent presentations of their musical personal projects, where they shared their compositions, research, concert programs, and performances. This projector has also improved our lessons, allowing students to learn with precise and accurate music examples that would be difficult or impossible to write on our board by hand. Having a projector in our classroom has truly expanded the possibilities for learning, and we are excited to continue using it to share students' musical projects, and discover inspiring pieces and musical concepts.\r\n\r\nAlong with this projector, our new shoulder rests and rosins have improved our students' form and sound drastically. Having access to necessary string equipment has inspired our musicians to bring a new professionalism and respect to rehearsals. I see daily improvement in my students' technical form and musicality as well as an class-wide rise in intrinsic motivation to grow as musicians. The students were so excited when this equipment arrived and expressed their gratitude for access to such luxury. They had become used to playing their instruments uncomfortably without proper support. \r\n\r\nThank you for your donations to our orchestra!
