Because of your support, my students now have regular access to engaging, real-world reading materials that spark their curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. These magazines have quickly become one of the most anticipated parts of our week. Whether we're diving into an article about endangered animals, learning about faraway places, or discovering how everyday inventions work, my students are captivated and eager to learn more.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this is their first real experience with reading nonfiction in a way that feels exciting, accessible, and fun. These magazines have helped them build important skills—like using text features, asking critical questions, and connecting what they read to their own lives. I've seen their confidence grow as they realize they can read and understand real-world information. They love sharing facts with each other, asking to take the magazines home, and even rereading their favorites during independent reading time. Your donation has not only supported literacy—it has fueled their love of learning.\r\n\r\nWhat you've given us is more than just a subscription or a resource—it's an opportunity. You've helped my students see themselves as readers, thinkers, and explorers. In a classroom where every tool matters, your kindness has made a lasting difference.

Thanks to your support, our classroom library project was fully funded. We are already putting the new books, bins, and reading cushions to great use! When the students walked into the room and saw the new setup for the first time, their eyes lit up with excitement. Some dove into the book bins, eagerly flipping through pages, while others claimed spots on the cushions and settled in for quiet reading time. \r\n\r\nWe've organized the new books into categories using the new bins, which has made it so much easier for students to find what interests them. It's been so rewarding to watch them discover new favorite stories and explore worlds beyond their own.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, as our school year winds down, students will be working on a special writing assignment to reflect on their favorite books from our classroom library. Each student will choose one book that stood out to them the most and write a short recommendation to share with next year's second grade class. It's a meaningful way for them to celebrate their reading growth. Your donation gave us more than just materials. You helped create a space that sparks curiosity, joy, and a love of reading.
