This book has given my students the opportunity to experience free verse poetry in a powerful way—showing them how poetry can not only create vivid images but also tell a complete and moving story. It has sparked meaningful dialogue in our classroom, particularly around the themes of immigration, resilience, and identity.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor my Vietnamese students, especially, this book has been transformative. They feel seen and represented by a story written by a Vietnamese author, and their excitement has been contagious for the whole class. It has opened the door for deeper empathy and understanding among peers.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis novel has been a beautiful addition to my poetry unit, inspiring students to express themselves more authentically through both poetry and journaling. The impact has extended beyond academics—it has nurtured a sense of belonging, connection, and voice within our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1746465614429,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-stories/9254998/","projectTitle":"Diverse Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Billeci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3091302"},{"teacherId":3091302,"projectId":9226933,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of Esperanza Rising, Holes, and the Spanish editions of Esperanza Rising and Harry Potter. Your support has made an immediate and lasting impact in my classroom. Each year, my goal is to inspire my fifth graders to love reading by immersing them in as many powerful novels as possible. Through novel studies, I integrate history, writing, grammar, and reading standards, helping students connect deeply with both literature and U.S. history. With an incredibly diverse group of students, it's vital to me that every child sees themselves represented in the stories we read, and your donation has brought us even closer to that vision.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis year, we've read Sign of the Beaver, Wonder, Sophia's War, Bud, Not Buddy, Bridge to Terabithia, Holes, The Great Wave, and now, thanks to you, Esperanza Rising. Historical fiction like Esperanza Rising allows my students to experience history in a personal, meaningful way, while also expanding their writing skills across narrative, opinion, and informational styles. These stories not only enrich our academic studies but also build empathy, resilience, and a stronger sense of identity for every student. I'm also thrilled to share that the Spanish editions you provided have already made a difference—when I showed one of my Spanish-speaking students the books, she teared up with joy. She is so excited to be fully included in our upcoming lessons.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the power of diverse stories and in the future of young readers. We are so grateful for you!","fullyFundedDate":1744252162570,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-kids-to-read/9226933/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Kids to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Billeci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3091302"},{"teacherId":7897271,"projectId":8212924,"letterContent":"I am beyond grateful for this donation to our classroom. We have completed two classes reading this Novel. Having access to this Novel has really brought Social Studies to life and has helped students connect emotionally to the times that we are reading about in our social studies curriculum. \r\n\r\nIt has been so wonderful to be able to see how students connect with the character and have an investment in her story. This book has also allowed us to be able to connect ideas across curriculum, which can be challenging to do in the upper grades. It has been so wonderful to see students making connections between literature, and true events that are happening in our social studies curriculum. \r\n\r\nI am so very grateful for donors like you that have allowed me to take my students to new heights and expand upon their understanding in ways I never thought I would be able to before.
