My classroom greatly benefited from the high-interest, diverse books that matched the reading abilities of my struggling and emergent readers donated in this project. Graphic novels such as The Secret Garden, The Hobbit, and Black Beauty allowed my lower readers to enjoy the action and excitement of books with better comprehension and less frustration. Humorous books like Allergic or The Babysitters series encouraged my reluctant readers to read longer and with more enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nA classroom that has new and exciting books motivates students to read. This project put those books into my students´ hands and they flourished. Graphic novels led many students to read novel series for the first time. Introductions to various books opened up a world of reading to struggling readers. \r\n\r\nThank you so very much for investing in literacy and in students' educations and futures.","fullyFundedDate":1724427078957,"projectUrl":"project/energizing-our-classroom-library/8682973/","projectTitle":"Energizing Our Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kiffe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2365139_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1509823985733","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2365139"},{"teacherId":9693354,"projectId":8682744,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my second grade students by providing diverse books for our classroom library. My students were able to use these books to access perspectives, cultures, and information outside of their personal experience. In a state that works hard to prioritize IEFA, it was wonderful to offer my students a robust library full of high quality diverse literature.\r\n\r\nWe used these books in a variety of ways. They were always available for students to read and enjoy independently. Many of them became whole-class readaloud books to support our IEFA standards, which the students greatly enjoyed. We also returned to some books throughout the year to see how our experiences of them deepened as we gained new knowledge.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for enriching my classroom library and my students' education, imaginations, and lives.","fullyFundedDate":1724373560180,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-books-for-a-small-town-classroom/8682744/","projectTitle":"Diverse Books for a Small Town Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Morey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9693354_orig.jpg?crop=1953,1953,x362,y177&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724189807190","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9693354"},{"teacherId":9773406,"projectId":8813173,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for making the Educational Pop-It fidget toys be a part of my first grade students' learning in math and reading. My students began using the Pop-it game boards right away to help reinforce their basic math facts. All the students were excited about popping their answers and waiting to see who completed the scoreboard first. These interactive multisensory game boards are quite helpful in teaching my students the magic blending of letter sounds, and it is a fun enriching way for my students to receive repetitive practice on CVC words that help develop essential phonics skills which in turn build confidence in their ability to read. \r\nAgain, a big THANK YOU for your donation in making our learning POP in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727062085704,"projectUrl":"project/poppin-learning-fun/8813173/","projectTitle":"Poppin' Learning Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9773406"},{"teacherId":9063955,"projectId":8694526,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing additional funds for my class.

The folders are a great resource because they are hands on and self explanatory. \r\n\r\nThis year was particularly hard to buy classroom supplies due to budget cuts.

The students have more choices in their classroom library, a class set of protractors so each student can use one, and a class set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory books.\r\n Our school's fourth grade was able to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all at the same time as part of our reading curriculum since we have enough books now to do this. We made golden tickets, watched the movie after reading the book, and turned it into a class holiday party that was chocolate themed. Having enough books to be able to turn our reading into a collaborative experience with the other classes made this so much more of an enriching project that the students will remember for years to come.\r\n We cannot thank you enough for your donations that have made such a huge impact, and allowed us to be able to create a whole experience for our classroom and grade level.","fullyFundedDate":1727402323335,"projectUrl":"project/book-bound/8803073/","projectTitle":"Book Bound!!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Huls","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9764551_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727216640982","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9764551"},{"teacherId":7063759,"projectId":8841470,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for understanding the positive impact coding can have on our students.

We have engineered and coded drag race cars, robots that have to travel through a specific course and battle bots.

The book box that was purchased contains books that are high interest in topic level, but at the same time lower level reading ability.\r\nWhen I book talked some of these books to my students they were very excited and many of the books were checked out right away.
