Your kindness has brought so much joy and excitement to our classroom!\r\n\r\nThe magnetic whiteboard has truly changed the way we learn together. I use it every day for lessons, and the students love coming up to the board to share their ideas, solve problems, and participate in activities. It's made teaching and learning so much more interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nOur new collection of Dog Man books has also been a huge hit! The students can't get enough of them — even some of my more reluctant readers are eager to grab a book and read. It's wonderful to see how much fun they're having with reading.\r\n\r\nThe reading highlight strips and pencil grips have been so helpful for my students who need a little extra support. These small tools make a big difference in helping them feel confident and comfortable while they read and write.\r\n\r\nAnd the flexible chairs have completely transformed our classroom! The students love being able to choose a seat that helps them focus and feel comfortable. It's created such a positive, inviting learning space for everyone.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly made a difference in our classroom. Thank you for helping us create a space where students can learn, grow, and feel inspired every day.","fullyFundedDate":1754834681820,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-sit-write-and-read-with-confid/9530174/","projectTitle":"Help Us Sit, Write, and Read with Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sehgal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9710395_orig.jpg?crop=612,612,x0,y108&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737414131758","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9710395"},{"teacherId":9710395,"projectId":9263051,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our classroom stools! Your support helped create a fun, safe, and flexible space where students want to be. We've been using the stools as part of our PBIS reward system. Students earn the chance to choose their seats based on positive behavior, and it's quickly become a favorite incentive.\r\n\r\nWhen the stools first arrived, the kids were so excited. They immediately started testing them out, moving them around, and talking about how much better the class felt with the new setup. It's made group work easier and has helped build a sense of community in our room.\r\n\r\nWe work on collaborative projects, and the new seating gives students more freedom to move and interact in ways that support learning. \r\n\r\nThe space feels more like theirs now, and that ownership really shows in how they take responsibility over their work.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping us build a positive environment. I appreciate you and your efforts!

The excitement these books have brought is undeniable—students were buzzing with anticipation from the moment they heard about the new titles. As soon as the books were placed on the shelves, they were checked out within minutes, with eager readers already forming waitlists for the next available copies. It's been truly inspiring to see students who don't normally visit the library now coming in regularly, excited to read and discuss their favorite characters and plotlines.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this addition has been more than just increased circulation—it has sparked a renewed love for reading among many of our students. The manga series has not only connected with long-time fans but has also introduced new readers to the joys of storytelling through art and dialogue. We are grateful for your commitment to diversifying the library's collection and meeting the evolving interests of our students.
