My students are very grateful.\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools gives my seventh grader's bodies the flexibility to move while focusing on learning in health class. We will be using the pedometers for wellness walks (once spring is really here in Western NY)!

These donations have truly transformed the reading experience for my students in ways that are inspiring to witness daily.\r\n\r\nThrough these new texts, we're introducing students to vital reading skills, such as making inferences, analyzing themes, and identifying author techniques like tone and point of view. These books have also provided powerful entry points for teaching empathy, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. For example, some titles have sparked deep conversations about identity and social justice, helping students connect literature to their lives and the world around them.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading doesn't look like a silent, solitary activity—it's dynamic and alive. Students eagerly discuss their books in small groups, recommending titles to each other and sharing insights. You'll often see them scribbling notes in their journals about favorite quotes or ideas they want to explore further. Having access to books they're excited about has turned reluctant readers into engaged learners and has created a culture where reading feels empowering rather than intimidating.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these books has been especially profound for certain students. One in particular, a young boy who has struggled with reading since elementary school, recently finished his first full novel cover to cover—he proudly announced, \"I've never read anything this good before!\" Another student, who previously saw reading as \"boring,\" now races to be the first to grab books from our new collection. These moments show us just how much the right book can ignite a love for learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are building skills that will stay with them for a lifetime while also finding joy and purpose in reading. It's no exaggeration to say you've opened up new worlds for them.","fullyFundedDate":1734458971939,"projectUrl":"project/new-reads-for-classroom-library/8944992/","projectTitle":"New Reads for Classroom Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Navarro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6086771_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1637979580429","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6086771"},{"teacherId":8127166,"projectId":8703463,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of new books for our classroom library. Your support means so much to me and my students. The addition of these books not only enriches our classroom environment but also opens up a world of learning, adventure, and discovery for each child. It's always a special moment when a student finds a book they can connect with, and your contribution makes those moments possible.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have access to a wider range of books that will ignite their imaginations, inspire their curiosity, and foster a love of reading that will last a lifetime. It's truly amazing how something as simple as a book can have such a profound impact on a child's education and personal growth.
