Independent reading in math now includes story‑based and informational texts that help students connect concepts to everyday life while strengthening vocabulary and confidence. The instructional materials also allow for clearer modeling, stronger small‑group lessons, and more targeted support during practice. Several students who were previously hesitant about math are now choosing math books on their own and showing greater curiosity and persistence. Overall, the project has created a more active, confident, and motivated group of math learners.","fullyFundedDate":1767111188737,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-math-library-to-inspire-third/9923798/","projectTitle":"Building a Math Library to Inspire Third Grade Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garnes-Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8313198_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721240762044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8313198"},{"teacherId":8313198,"projectId":9923848,"letterContent":"Receiving independent‑reading books through DonorsChoose gave students far more choice, which immediately increased their motivation to read.

Because everyone had access to engaging books at their level, reading became a shared, positive experience rather than a task. This boost in excitement and confidence around reading carried over into class discussions, writing, and overall academic growth.","fullyFundedDate":1764698898640,"projectUrl":"project/spreading-holiday-joy-christmas-gifts-f/9923848/","projectTitle":"Spreading Holiday Joy: Christmas Gifts for Third Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garnes-Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8313198_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721240762044","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8313198"},{"teacherId":4913404,"projectId":9600464,"letterContent":"My 47 fifth graders have truly enjoyed and loved utilizing the strategy and brain games you provided.
