Students immediately recognized titles they helped choose, from graphic novels to romance and horror, and many could not wait to start reading.\r\n\r\nThese books matter because they reflect who my students are. When students see their interests, cultures, emotions, and experiences represented on the shelves, reading becomes personal. It is no longer just an assignment but something they want to do. With our new schoolwide reading initiative, these books are being checked out constantly and shared with friends, creating a genuine reading community in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support gave my students more than books.

Our students are using the STEM and community-building toys during small-group rotations, enrichment time, and team challenges. One of my favorite moments was watching a group of students work together to build a structure that could hold weight, students naturally took on roles, shared ideas, tested their designs, and revised when something didn't work. These resources have allowed students to practice critical thinking, communication, and perseverance in a hands-on and joyful way.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. There were gasps, big smiles, and lots of \"Can we try this one?\" What stood out most was how quickly they transitioned from excitement to focus. Even students who are typically quiet or hesitant to participate became engaged, collaborating with peers and proudly explaining their thinking. These toys have helped build confidence, strengthen peer relationships, and create a positive classroom community where every student feels included.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using these resources as part of structured STEM challenges connected to our science and math learning, as well as community-building activities that support teamwork and social-emotional growth. Students will reflect on their designs, explain their problem-solving process, and set goals for improving their collaboration skills. Because of you, our classroom is not just a place to learn, it's a place where students feel empowered to explore, create, and grow together.

We use these snacks as positive incentives during independent work time, group activities, and AVID-focused note-taking sessions. They have helped create a warm and supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to stay engaged and motivated. One specific moment that stands out was during our reading block: students were working on a challenging chapter of Fish in a Tree, and the snacks provided just the right boost to help them stay focused and enthusiastic about their work. These small treats have made a big difference in helping students push through moments that require extra effort.\r\n\r\nThe students were incredibly excited when they first saw the snacks. Their faces lit up, and many expressed gratitude and surprise that someone outside of our classroom cared enough to support their learning in this way. For some, this was their first experience receiving donations from others, and it made them feel valued and seen. The snacks have become a simple but powerful reminder that the community believes in their potential and wants them to succeed.\r\n\r\nAs for next steps, our class is currently working on a combination of reading comprehension, writing development, and AVID organizational skills. Students are preparing for their next writing assignment, which focuses on character analysis and making text-based inferences. They are also continuing to build strong study habits and collaborative skills. Your donation helps keep their energy and spirits high as they dive deeper into these projects. Thank you for supporting not just our classroom, but the confidence and motivation of each student.","fullyFundedDate":1763608156908,"projectUrl":"project/little-snacks-big-impact/9908140/","projectTitle":"Little Snacks, Big Impact","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mootry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2318435_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475169060572","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2318435"},{"teacherId":6308228,"projectId":9656636,"letterContent":"Your donation meant more than you will ever know.

The variety of books I was able to purchase has sparked interest in many students, especially those reluctant to read. \r\n\r\nWe try to read independently 3 times a week, and these books are a great addition. As we returned today, I saw many kids heading over to pick a new book. That in itself is worth it.

By reading this novel, students learn to see the importance of storytelling in preserving culture, memory, and identity. The book encourages readers to consider themes like censorship, survival, individuality, and the power of stories in shaping humanity. Through Petra's Mexican heritage and the role of cuentos (stories), students engage with cultural traditions and the significance of oral storytelling. Finally, this text prompts reflection on courage, resistance, and the role of creativity in rebuilding community after loss.\r\nThe Last Cuentista has appealed to many students who enjoy science fiction, fantasy, or stories with strong female protagonists. Students with an interest in culture and storytelling connect with Petra's identity as a cuentista. Others are drawn to the ethical and philosophical questions—such as what makes us human when memory and individuality are threatened. Some reluctant readers have also become more involved because the story's futuristic elements and emotional depth make it accessible yet thought-provoking.","fullyFundedDate":1755719351795,"projectUrl":"project/creating-community-through-reading/9604833/","projectTitle":"Creating Community Through Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Badu-Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4052508"},{"teacherId":10004515,"projectId":9433652,"letterContent":"We are now 9 weeks into the school year, and we've been having daily independent reading time for the last month.

She is one of my struggling readers, and this graphic novel was a bit of a stretch for her, but she was so engaged that she persevered and grew her love of reading with each page. She shared that last year she didn't really read books, and now she's excited about her next book!\r\n\r\nHaving an engaging and accessible classroom library has been such a gift this year that would not have been possible without your support.

It has transformed the way we create, present, and share our learning—especially in the area of science. Before we received this printer, our projects were often limited to black-and-white visuals, which made it difficult for students to fully capture the beauty and diversity of the topics they were studying. Now, with access to vivid color printing, our lessons have come alive in ways that inspire creativity, curiosity, and a deeper love for learning.\r\n\r\nIn our science units, students have been able to design vibrant informational flyers about animals from different countries and ecosystems. Whether they are studying the rainforest of Brazil, the savannas of Africa, or the icy habitats of Antarctica, students can now include realistic, full-color images that make their research more engaging and meaningful. The ability to see the brilliant feathers of tropical birds, the patterns on a tiger's coat, or the delicate details of a butterfly's wings helps students connect emotionally and intellectually to the content. Their projects are no longer just words on paper—they are windows into the natural world.\r\n\r\nThe excitement this printer has brought to our classroom is unmistakable. Students are eager to plan and design their projects, knowing that they can showcase their work with color and clarity. Many have even taken extra initiative—experimenting with layouts, researching high-quality images, and thinking more critically about presentation and design. It's wonderful to see them take pride in their work and to watch their confidence grow as they share their finished projects with classmates and families.\r\n\r\nBeyond science, the color printer has made a meaningful impact in our math lessons as well. Students are now able to print colorful bar graphs, charts, and data visualizations that make abstract concepts easier to understand. They can see patterns, compare results, and analyze information more effectively. The use of color has not only made the materials more visually appealing but has also supported a variety of learning styles. For visual learners especially, the addition of color has made a tremendous difference in comprehension and engagement.\r\n\r\nThis gift has enhanced collaboration and creativity across subjects. Students are working together to design posters, brochures, and presentation boards that reflect both their knowledge and their imagination. The printer has become a tool for exploration—encouraging students to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nWe are eternally grateful for your generous donation of our new color printer. It is much more than a piece of equipment; it is a bridge between imagination and reality, helping our students bring their ideas to life in full color. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for investing in the success of our students. Your support is making an incredible and lasting impact in our classroom every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1759158842619,"projectUrl":"project/brighten-our-classroom/9695060/","projectTitle":"Brighten Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maldonado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4047848_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753039125497","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4047848"},{"teacherId":2318435,"projectId":9641530,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of six new classroom chairs. The addition of these chairs has already made such a difference in our learning environment. My students and I are using them daily during group projects, independent reading, and collaborative discussions. Having sturdy, comfortable seating allows students to focus more on their work and less on finding a place to sit, making transitions between activities smoother and learning time more productive.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the chairs, their faces lit up with excitement. Many of them immediately rushed to try them out and were eager to sit together to begin their work. One student even said, \"Now we can all fit at the table without squishing in!\" That joy and sense of belonging showed me that something as simple as chairs can create a more welcoming and inclusive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our class is diving into a personal narrative writing unit where students share their own stories. The new chairs allow us to set up small-group writing workshops where students can peer-edit and collaborate more comfortably. These shared spaces are already fostering stronger communication and teamwork. Your generosity has given us not only physical seating, but also the foundation for meaningful connections and deeper learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1758636705016,"projectUrl":"project/every-student-deserves-a-seat/9641530/","projectTitle":"Every Student Deserves a Seat","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mootry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2318435_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475169060572","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2318435"},{"teacherId":9993958,"projectId":9247339,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for giving students in my class the oportunity to not only practice but also expand their knowledge in the Spanish language through reading. I teach Spanish 1/2 and 3/4 , which can be difficult for some students to overcome specially if they don't have any prior knowledge on the Target Language (Spanish). Therefore, the goal is to have an in-class Spanish library with Spanish books from different reading levels. This will allow students to choose a book they feel comfortable with because it will allow them to actually try and read and not be overwhelmed. Even though the Spanish library is still a work in progress, having these books available is a very good start. \r\n\r\nIn a language class, the teacher focuses on four main things, reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students have weekly recording in which they record theselves practicing the speaking portion of the target language. At times students use the books to record themselves reading out loud. That is why I think that having a class Spanish Library will help support the learning of the Target Language.
