They immediately started flipping through the fresh titles, pointing out covers, characters, and stories they couldn't wait to read. Seeing their excitement reminded me exactly why these materials matter—our little libraries aren't just shelves; they are welcoming spaces that spark curiosity and invite children (and families) to fall in love with reading.\r\n\r\nWe've already begun restocking our lending libraries with the new books and organizing them in a way that makes browsing easy and inviting for all ages. The décor pieces added a bright, cheerful touch that draws attention to the library and makes it feel special. Students proudly help arrange the books, talk about which ones they want to take home next, and encourage their classmates to try their favorites. Their ownership of these spaces has grown tremendously because they can clearly see the care that went into creating them.","fullyFundedDate":1761156896137,"projectUrl":"project/making-our-little-libraries-shine/9823330/","projectTitle":"Making Our Little Libraries Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reese","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7150075_orig.jpg?crop=506,506,x542,y445&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736271967829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7150075"},{"teacherId":4494468,"projectId":9454546,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has been transformed in the best way! When the boxes of new 2-pocket folders with prongs arrived, my students were beyond excited. You would've thought it was a box of treasures! They immediately started choosing colors, labeling their folders, and organizing their papers with huge smiles on their faces. One student said, \"Now I won't lose my homework anymore!\" That simple statement really captured what this project has meant to them.\r\n\r\nWe use the folders every day to keep track of notes, assignments, and important classroom papers. They've quickly become part of our daily routine, helping students stay prepared for lessons and feel more confident about their work. During small-group projects, students use their folders to collect research notes and drafts, and I've noticed how much more focused and responsible they've become. It's amazing to see them take pride in staying organized and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOne moment that stood out was during a recent writing project. Students had to gather ideas, drafts, and feedback over several days, and every single student was able to find exactly what they needed without any lost papers. The sense of accomplishment they felt was priceless.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students more than just supplies. You've helped them build habits of organization and pride that will support them for years to come. Our next steps are to continue using these folders as part of our goal-setting and reflection routines. Each student will be adding a \"Proud Moments\" section to celebrate their growth throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools to succeed. Your kindness truly makes a difference every single day in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758203018517,"projectUrl":"project/folders-that-hold-dreams-together/9454546/","projectTitle":"Folders That Hold Dreams Together!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4494468_orig.jpg?crop=826,827,x0,y115&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1675821517307","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4494468"},{"teacherId":4326846,"projectId":9274500,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing my students with the opportunity to use this flexible learning space. This addition to our learning environment has had a profound impact on both their academic growth and their social-emotional development. The space has encouraged them to work together, communicate their ideas, and problem-solve as a team in ways that a traditional classroom setting does not always allow.\r\n\r\nSince utilizing this space, I have observed a noticeable increase in student engagement and participation. Students who are typically hesitant to share their ideas now feel comfortable contributing, while those who often rush through assignments are taking more time to reflect and collaborate with their peers. Their confidence has grown, and their ability to listen to different perspectives, compromise, and build on each other's ideas has strengthened significantly.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the flexible environment has also provided opportunities for students to develop essential life skills such as responsibility, independence, and accountability. They are learning how to manage their time, set goals, and work toward achieving them alongside others. These skills will not only benefit them in the classroom but also prepare them for future educational experiences and real-world challenges.\r\n\r\nThe impact has truly been transformative. My students are more motivated, more focused, and more invested in their own learning journeys. They are demonstrating leadership qualities, supporting one another, and building a stronger classroom community. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to provide them with this space, and I cannot thank you enough for supporting an initiative that directly enriches their education and their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1746787212948,"projectUrl":"project/flex-learning-space/9274500/","projectTitle":"FLEX Learning Space","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poteau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4326846_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512440669453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4326846"},{"teacherId":5191570,"projectId":9119142,"letterContent":"As we began painting spring memories the students became so enthusiastic.\r\nUpon seeing the material, they became more confident that they can use wet media and not the usual broken crayons anymore.

Each morning, my students eagerly grab their journals to write stories, share their thoughts, and reflect on what they've learned. Having their very own journal has given them a sense of ownership and pride; they love flipping through the pages and seeing how much their writing has improved in such a short time.\r\n\r\nI'll never forget the excitement on their faces when they first saw the neatly stacked journals waiting for them. Many of my students had never had their own writing journal before, and the simple act of writing their names on the covers felt so special. One student even hugged her journal, saying, \"This is all mine?\" That moment alone made your support worth so much more than just school supplies—it reminded my students that their learning matters and that people believe in them.\r\n\r\nNow that these tools are in their hands, we've been able to focus on building stronger writing habits and deeper confidence. We're working on narrative writing, and my students are filling their journals with imaginative stories and thoughtful reflections.

The idea that they were helping create something for everyone made them feel proud and important.\r\n\r\nWe are using this resource as a way for students to practice responsibility and kindness through community service. With guidance, my preschoolers will help decorate the library, talk about which books should go inside, and take turns checking on it to make sure it stays neat and welcoming. It's incredible to watch such young children understand that they can make a difference by giving something back.\r\n\r\nThe next step for us is to get the library installed at the front of our school. Once it's ready, we'll have a \"grand opening\" with our students to celebrate the start of our first-ever Lending Library.

Students colored their sneaker templates, practiced tying laces on models, and decorated miniature sneakers with gems and stickers. The foot measuring device became a favorite tool, sparking discussions about shoe sizes and growth. Displaying their creations on stools gave them a sense of pride and accomplishment.\r\n\r\nThis project tapped into their genuine interest in footwear, turning it into a rich, hands-on learning experience.

These books introduce important lessons about Black history, culture, and heroes in a way that's accessible and engaging for pre-K students. Through these stories, students are learning to appreciate diversity, recognize their own potential, and understand the value of different perspectives. The vibrant illustrations, age-appropriate language, and powerful storytelling allow students to connect emotionally with the characters and historical figures they encounter.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is an interactive experience. Students gather in small groups or on the rug for shared reading, where we discuss the stories, ask questions, and make connections to their own lives. We focus on building comprehension skills, such as predicting, retelling, and identifying key details, while also encouraging empathy and understanding through the characters' journeys. The books have created rich conversations about identity, community, and the importance of celebrating our differences. Students are excited to share what they've learned and have shown great enthusiasm for these stories, often asking to revisit their favorites during independent reading time.\r\n\r\nSome students, in particular, have been deeply moved by the new books. One student, who is particularly shy, has found confidence in seeing characters who look like them, and now enthusiastically participates in group discussions. Another student has become fascinated with the story of a historical figure, often retelling the events of the book to peers during free play. These books are making a lasting impact not only by helping our students understand the richness of Black history, but also by giving them the tools to build their own voices and share their stories.
