Having access to a greater variety of high-quality books that relate to the themes of our centers has greatly increased the learning element of my students play time. Your donation has allowed me to refresh the literacy experience in our classroom, and keep up with the diverse interests of my students. Seeing their excitement to explore new stories and ideas has opened up new opportunities for conversation, which has been very rewarding. This experience has reaffirmed the power in having access to books and stories, especially in early childhood. \r\n\r\nThe impact your donation has had on my classroom is evident every day. My students are spending more time engaging in independent reading, asking conversation starting questions, and bringing up new topics with their classmates, building their language skills, knowledge of new topics, and confidence in their literacy. These books have encouraged new learning opportunities, but also curiosity, storytelling, imagination, and a love for reading in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1760989238044,"projectUrl":"project/early-literacy-through-print-exposure/9571996/","projectTitle":"Early Literacy Through Print Exposure","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Conner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10167469_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754859328248","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10167469"},{"teacherId":397648,"projectId":8849427,"letterContent":"Thank you for making the stem activities possible with your generous donation.
