Thanks to your kindness, we were able to replace25 books for our library and subscribe to Scholastic News, giving my 5th graders access to high-quality reading materials every week. \r\n\r\nThese donations made an immediate and lasting difference. They restored our library, but furthermore they improve access to current events. It has also boosted student excitement for reading. They love all of the resources that come with the Scholastic magazines and it keeps them entertained and engaged, they almost forget they are learning. Most importantly, every one of my students now have access to reliable, meaningful texts, creating equity and opportunity. \r\n\r\nBecause of these donations, our students didn't just get back what they lost - they gained even more opportunities to grow as readers, thinkers, and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1743017847154,"projectUrl":"project/building-strong-readers-in-5th-grade/9145351/","projectTitle":"Building Strong Readers in 5th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Menjivar Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3660103_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478644155149","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/karina-menjivar"},{"teacherId":9061783,"projectId":9571261,"letterContent":"The bean bags have been such a fun addition to our classroom! My students love having a cozy spot to read, work with a partner, or just settle in during group activities. During our recent book clubs, each group gathered on the bean bags, and it made the conversations feel so much more relaxed and natural. I noticed that some of my quieter students were more willing to share their thoughts, just because they felt more comfortable in the space.\r\nWhen the bean bags first showed up, the kids were beyond excited—they couldn't wait to try them out. A few even said it made the room feel like a \"reading café.\" Since then, we've been using them for writing time and group projects, and it's been such a great way to keep students engaged. Next up, we're starting a creative writing unit, and I'm excited to see how the flexible seating helps spark even more ideas as they draft and share their stories.","fullyFundedDate":1755003536637,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-options/9571261/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Options","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9061783_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744213748282","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9061783"},{"teacherId":6704929,"projectId":7627689,"letterContent":"I can't tell you how much we needed this extra rug in our room!!
