Because of your contributions, my students had the invaluable opportunity to engage with powerful historical fiction and nonfiction texts that brought the events of World War I and World War II to life in ways that lectures and textbooks simply cannot. These books allowed students to explore the personal stories behind major historical events, deepening their understanding of the wars' global impact and the human cost of conflict.\r\n\r\nAs they read stories from the trenches of WWI and followed characters living under the shadow of WWII, students gained new insight into the bravery, hardship, and moral complexities of war. Many expressed how these books changed their perspective—not just on history, but on empathy, resilience, and the importance of remembering the past. Your support made this rich, transformative learning possible, and we are truly grateful. Thank you for helping us bring history into sharper focus for the next generation.","fullyFundedDate":1734193769048,"projectUrl":"project/world-wars-reading-project/8841972/","projectTitle":"World Wars Reading Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Herbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9232908"},{"teacherId":9234028,"projectId":9169610,"letterContent":"As a writing instructor, students use pencils for writing and red pens and highlighters for editing their rough drafts.
