With your help, the Bonner Library was able to add a browser bin to the picture book section of our library! This is the first browser bin in the library - and it has already changed the way some students check out!\r\n\r\nChecking out books can be overwhelming for some students. The addition of the new browser bin has been a dream for these students and made picking out a book a little bit easier! Using this bin allows students see the front cover of the book, where they can easily flip through the books at their own pace and select a book without juggling a shelf marker to hold their place. In the short amount of time, the browser bin has been such a game changer for so many students - primary and intermediate students alike! \r\n\r\nThe books selected for this bin were books located in an under-circulated area of the library. We hope students will find these overlooked gems and check out these books to share with their family and friends! The excitement and usage of this browser bin has been amazing. I am already toying with the idea of swapping out books periodically based on themes - from genres, to subject area, to authors - the sky is the limit for the books we offer our students in this area!\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donation and your unwavering support for the Bonner Library!","fullyFundedDate":1758818128603,"projectUrl":"project/let-the-covers-shine/9617536/","projectTitle":"Let the Covers Shine!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7954886"},{"teacherId":8121773,"projectId":9762817,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom project! \r\n\r\nI am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your thoughtful donation towards items for our calming corner.

Because we did not have the funds for traditional grade-level shirts this year, the tie-dye supplies funded through Donors Choose allowed every student to design and create their own shirt—something they were excited and proud to wear.\r\n\r\nThe experience went far beyond simply making shirts. Students were engaged in hands-on learning as they explored color mixing, pattern design, and step-by-step creative processes. They collaborated with classmates, shared materials, helped each other troubleshoot designs, and celebrated each other's work. This brought a genuine sense of community to our grade level, strengthening relationships and giving students a shared experience they will remember.\r\n\r\nWearing their tie-dye shirts afterward will create an instant feeling of unity. Instead of missing out on a grade-level tradition, our students created a new one—one that was personal, meaningful, and joyful.
