Reading is such an important skill for children and even their parents and families. Today children take for granted using computers and learning from their notebooks. However this does not enforce their reading skills. They need hands on experience with books and the pkeasure of hjolding a book in their hands and seeing the graphics within the book. This does not only build their reading skills, but it enforces their ability to build their ijmagination and relate the skills they have learned. \r\nRelating the stories of their reader helps children interact with their peers and others. They have infornative information to relate and new ways of interacting with others from books. Quiet helps children learn simply and factually.\r\nAll of my students are thrilled with the new books. Children are like sponges ready to absorb the new books. They want to read all the books and enjoy the challenge of learning new ideas and new wods. It is exciting to watch my students with new books!","fullyFundedDate":1770403724782,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-library/9969459/","projectTitle":"Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kimberly Exler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8010180_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673555970752","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8010180"},{"teacherId":2434433,"projectId":9522683,"letterContent":"This project was a classroom FAVORITE and it left my first graders saying \"Thank you, thank you, thank you!\" Because of YOU, my first graders can't wait to READ!
