It has been a career-long project and I am proud of it. The expectation for us these days is to teach reading out of a workbook and limit our instruction to a list of texts chosen by a corporation, rather than offer an ever-growing library of books and provide a list of recommendations informed by our years of experience with children. I'm glad there are still kids who love to read and I hear this enthusiastic announcement almost every day: \"I finished a book!\" Let's all remember to keep encouraging kids to read! Here's a poem I wrote this morning about my gratitude for books and my inspiration to keep pushing them!\r\n\r\nTo be dauntless enough\r\nto walk in the path\r\nof one who accepts\r\na quest of unknown outcome,\r\nhoping to find answers\r\nto questions not yet asked, \r\nkeys\r\nto foreign realities,\r\nor acceptance\r\nfrom doors stuck in their frames,\r\nis to keep turning pages\r\nand learning from mistakes\r\nyou never have to make.\r\nA gift given\r\nto your future self\r\nis understanding\r\nyou may not know you have\r\nrealized in a life\r\nbetter lived\r\nbecause of books.","fullyFundedDate":1683640391879,"projectUrl":"project/spy-school-and-middle-school/7330065/","projectTitle":"Spy School and Middle School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fournier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msfournier"},{"teacherId":34687,"projectId":10051982,"letterContent":"It was so kind of you to donate supplies to our school to help keep our kids warm in the winter.

The cold weather gear, hats, scarves, and gloves, will continue to come in handy for years to come and keep our kids cozy.\r\n\r\nThank you so much.

I plan to play some of the games during class, too. They will be good learning experiences for all the students.\r\n\r\nIt's also very helpful to have some more basic instructional materials and books to use with the students who are language learners, and the translation devices are helpful for day-to-day communication.
