When they first saw the collection, their faces lit up! I even had a student finish one of the new books in a single day and ask to take it home to re-read it. The students recently wrote about what they are looking forward to in second grade, and many said they are excited about reading more books on the carpet.","fullyFundedDate":1779371026445,"projectUrl":"project/growing-readers/10235604/","projectTitle":"Growing Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10303140_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786649116728","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10303140"},{"teacherId":10303140,"projectId":9795976,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our classroom project; it truly means the world to both my students and me.

Having current, popular titles like The Baby-Sitters Club and The Bad Guys has sparked a genuine excitement for reading.\r\n\r\nWhether they are sitting together to draw during free time or using the glue sticks to craft masks and costumes at recess, the students are constantly using these supplies.
