Your thoughtfulness has truly made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful for the excitement and learning your donation has brought to our students.\r\n\r\nThese new books introduce and reinforce many important literacy skills in meaningful, engaging ways. Students are practicing foundational reading skills such as decoding, fluency, and vocabulary development, while also strengthening comprehension through predicting, making connections, identifying story elements, and discussing character actions and themes. Many of the books also spark creative thinking and seasonal curiosity, which keeps students highly motivated to read.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active, joyful experience. Students participate in whole-group read-alouds, small-group guided reading, partner reading, and independent reading time. The Halloween books quickly became a favorite choice during our reading block. I've seen students eagerly selecting them from our classroom library, sharing stories with their classmates, and asking for \"just one more chapter\" at the end of the day.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially excited by these books. Some of my reluctant readers are choosing the Halloween stories again and again because the themes are fun and approachable, which has helped build their confidence. Other students who already love to read are diving deeper into discussions about plot, characters, and spooky surprises, often recommending favorite titles to their friends. It has been wonderful to see such wide-spread enthusiasm across different reading levels.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped foster a love of reading, boosted student engagement, and enriched our classroom in ways that go far beyond the season. Thank you again for supporting our students and their learning. We truly appreciate you.","fullyFundedDate":1760468859940,"projectUrl":"project/all-hallows-read/9726820/","projectTitle":"All Hallow's Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leslie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6884361_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628105750353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msleslienavarro"},{"teacherId":9118484,"projectId":9506800,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating.

Instead of running to the computer, students sit together with their dictionaries, helping one another find the right words. It slows them down in the best way—giving them time to think about meaning and context.\r\n\r\nSome of my newcomer students are especially excited.

For some, a new notebook is more than just paper and binding—it's a symbol of possibility. Your notebooks have transformed our classroom in ways that are both practical and deeply personal. Students now come to class more prepared and engaged. They take notes with care, complete assignments with confidence, and reflect on their learning with a sense of purpose. \r\n\r\nFor children who often feel the weight of financial hardship, your gift has lifted a burden. It has allowed them to focus on learning rather than worrying about how they'll keep up. It has given them a sense of dignity and equality among their peers. And it has reminded them that there are people in the world who believe in their potential—even if they've never met them.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also inspired a ripple effect. Students are more willing to share, help one another, and take pride in their work. They're learning that kindness is contagious—and that giving, no matter how small, can change someone's day or even their future.\r\n\r\nThank you for seeing the value in education and for investing in the lives of children who need it most.
