After receiving the books and bins, I spent all weekend labeling the books with reading levels and AR quiz numbers, as well as labeling the bins with AR levels. On Monday, before school started, I set up all the bins, full of books, so the kids could enter the room to an entire new library! They were so excited upon walking in and seeing all the new books! My boys were especially excited to dive into the Minecraft books. Having neat, organized bins labeled with reading levels sets the kids up for success, enabling them to easily select the right books for themselves. Your generosity made it happen!\r\n\r\nSetting up our new classroom organizer for small groups gave me a streamlined and simple way to get organized for small groups. Having a designated drawer for each group allowed for a quick start for small group instruction - so important with our busy schedule!\r\n\r\nMy students growth in reading skills was amazing to see. To watch a sweet child come in below grade level and during the course of the year, surpass grade level expectations for the year, and better still, develop a love and pride in learning is the ultimate reward. Your donation to our class had a direct impact on their success - giving the kids interesting new books to fuel their reading. Thank you sincerely for the support of our class.","fullyFundedDate":1775408631082,"projectUrl":"project/cutie-patooties-reading-for-hooties/9898415/","projectTitle":"Cutie Patooties Reading for Hooties","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2843216_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757996946675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2843216"},{"teacherId":1894697,"projectId":10162461,"letterContent":"First of all, thank you so very much for picking to donate to my classroom.

Also, the black felt pens make for great tracing after doing an assignment so their hard work stands out.

What a haul we got. \r\nAnd let me tell you about the books. Boy were they excited to see The Bad Guys series. Two boxed sets made them very excited.
