My students in grades second and third are heading to this spot on the regular now, with excitement to grab the next book in the series they have chosen. Every week since I have been able to start this project, I have had at least one or two kids that read a total series and are able to be celebrated on our morning show with thier full size candy bar.

The funding of this project allowed me to get desired lost books back on the shelves and in kids' hands reading.

The reading incentives and book bins have made a tremendous difference in my classroom and have helped my students stay focused, motivated, and successful with our Accelerated Reader program.\r\n\r\nThe book bins have been incredibly helpful. I was able to organize our classroom library by reading level, making it easy for students to find \"just-right\" books. This organization has also helped me identify which levels I need to add to our collection. Our classroom library now looks inviting, organized, and truly supports independent reading.\r\n\r\nThe reading incentives have been a huge motivator for my students. We use a progress chart at the back of the room so students can track their percentage growth, earning a new reward every 25%. These milestones help them stay encouraged and focused by breaking their reading goals into achievable steps.\r\n\r\nA veteran teacher inspired me to emphasize A.R. goals, and since implementing this program, I have seen remarkable changes. My students are choosing to read for fun, taking greater accountability for their learning, and parents are becoming more involved by asking how to help their children find books at their reading level. After our most recent round of testing, I saw impressive growth in my students' reading scores - progress I truly believe is a direct result of their independent reading through Accelerated Reader.\r\n\r\nYour support has provided my students with the tools they need to grow as readers, and I am so grateful for the positive impact you have made in our classroom. Thank you for helping my students believe in themselves and fall in love with reading.","fullyFundedDate":1759706924721,"projectUrl":"project/reaching-our-reading-goals/9734254/","projectTitle":"Reaching Our Reading Goals!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Petrucci","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9582775_orig.jpg?crop=519,519,x0,y43&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758317155970","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9582775"},{"teacherId":4387293,"projectId":9593870,"letterContent":"My students and I would like to Thank You for funding our very first donors choose project.

The Sound Machine Stem Activity is sure to be a hit! \r\n\r\nWe have really enjoyed using the hoops for rhythm grid activities, the balls for tempo partner songs and rhythm basketball patterns. My younger students have loved using the parachute and scarves for fun songs like \"Spooky Pumpkin\" song, the \"Trepak\" from the Nutcracker, and many many more songs that have enhanced our understanding of tempo, dynamics, and the steady beat. \r\n\r\nI am so thankful for all of the wonderful additions to our classroom.
