The books featured a wide range of holiday topics, as well as non-holiday seasonal topics. Curling up with a good book is always a treat, but for those who enjoy a seasonal backdrop books like these add another layer or engagement and immersion in the setting. The titles about holidays also allow students a glimpse at other cultures and contexts.

Maintaining clean hands and workspaces is very important for health and comfort.

The series focused on in this project are ones the students especially enjoy. When they love a series they keep reading. They get excited about the next book and continuation of the story, but they also feel an extra sense of accomplishment as they progress through multiple books.\r\n\r\nA particular student always read the graphic novel version of these titles, but was inspired to switch to the full-length print format this year. She read each graphic and each traditional novel we have available. Although reading graphic novels is already an amazing activity, she was very happy that she was able to read the full text as well. This was something she had not done before. She is also a super fan of the Wings of Fire series and carries a backpack decorated with characters from the series. This is just one story of the impact and excitement we experienced.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making my young readers happy and keeping them engaged!","fullyFundedDate":1729257657277,"projectUrl":"project/these-books-are-fire/8843157/","projectTitle":"These Books Are Fire!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lail","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3264174_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474138178346","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrslailgvmedia"},{"teacherId":3264174,"projectId":8365762,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project. It is a continuation of a former project, and we have learned so much throughout the entire process. We have learned how important it is to plan carefully for a service project, and how many moving parts are involved in coordinating with all of the people necessary to complete tasks like hanging the dispensers. We learned that clear communication about our goals and procedures was important as well. \r\n\r\nWe have created signs explaining our project and procedures and posted those in the bathrooms. We are keeping dispensers restocked. We noticed that when we were a little slow in getting one dispenser filled, someone had shared by placing items they had purchased into the dispenser. This act of kindness and sharing makes us feel as if our goal of taking care of each other has really come into fruition. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping us take care of each other!","fullyFundedDate":1724974601555,"projectUrl":"project/period-products-for-peers/8365762/","projectTitle":"Period Products for Peers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lail","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3264174_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474138178346","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrslailgvmedia"},{"teacherId":9318654,"projectId":8247575,"letterContent":"Students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade have benefited from this donation.

I knew this project would be well-received and help us create a great yearbook, but I did not realize the extent of the joy it would spread. \r\n\r\nFirst, the memory cards and organizer have helped tremendously. With fifteen students taking photos, we need lots of digital and physical storage space. The press passes have not only been great and hallway and game passes, but have also helped students feel official and confident. \r\n\r\nThe photo booth is still in action as we prepare for our final deadline. Student photographers have had so much fun taking photos of students and teachers. It can be hard to convince many middle schoolers to pose for or like a picture, but they have been so happy with the superhero pictures.
