Many of our most-loved series had become worn out from years of eager readers, so having fresh copies has been a huge motivator for students who are just beginning to see themselves as readers. The new titles also help us build a stronger sense of community and inclusion—students are finding books that reflect their own experiences (mirrors) and open their eyes to the experiences of others (windows). These stories spark meaningful conversations and help students grow not just as readers, but as empathetic classmates and friends.","fullyFundedDate":1693090554033,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-books-for-the-curiosity-center/7728285/","projectTitle":"Amazing Books for the Curiosity Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carmichael","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5494966_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1530230975305","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5494966"},{"teacherId":5494966,"projectId":8561916,"letterContent":"My students are so excited to come to group each day to work on reading.

Having the right tools and an organized space makes such a difference in helping them get the most out of their intervention time.\r\n\r\nI truly love my job, and I'm so grateful for the support that makes this kind of joyful, effective learning possible.
