It was a sweet project for sure. \r\nThe other project the students were able to make with the card stock was putting their names in a one point perspective project. The students loved seeing their names showcased.","fullyFundedDate":1742488689749,"projectUrl":"project/let-those-creative-art-juices-grow-and-f/9170652/","projectTitle":"Let Those Creative Art Juices Grow and Flow!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9968504"},{"teacherId":9969419,"projectId":9173866,"letterContent":"The students I work with on a daily basis are struggling, young readers who often come to me with the notion that they can't read.

They provide students an opportunity to work on their reading skills in a format that is not too difficult, but at the same time very interesting to them.\r\n\r\nWhen I presented these books to my students they immediately sat at the table and excitedly, grabbed a book. There are many animal books which especially grabbed their attention.
