Your incredible generosity in funding our \"She Persisted\" novel set project has not just added books to our shelves; it has ignited a spark of literacy and inspiration within our second-grade students.\r\n\r\nBefore your support, our library, while brimming with colorful picture books, lacked the crucial bridge to longer, more complex narratives. Our second graders, eager to explore the world of chapter books, faced a frustrating gap. They craved stories that were both accessible and captivating, narratives that would nurture their burgeoning reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe \"She Persisted\" novel set have offered compelling stories of remarkable women who defied expectations and shaped history, and were perfectly tailored to our students' reading levels and interests. The clear, concise language, coupled with manageable chapter lengths, allowed our students to experience the joy of reading longer narratives without feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nThe \"She Persisted\" books have become a coveted treasure.\r\nThe on-level text has empowered our students to read with confidence. \r\nThese books are more than just reading material; they are windows into history and sources of inspiration. Our students are learning about the struggles and triumphs of women from diverse backgrounds, fostering a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it. They are discovering role models who demonstrate the power of perseverance, resilience, and courage.\r\nYour contribution has created a lasting legacy in our early childhood center. You have not just provided books; you have provided our students with tools to become lifelong learners and engaged citizens. You have shown them that they, too, can persist in the face of challenges and make a positive impact on the world.\r\n\r\nWe have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of your generosity. You have fueled the love of reading in our students, expanded their knowledge, and inspired them to dream big. For this, we are grateful. Thank you for persisting in your support of our young readers. Your kindness has made a world of difference.","fullyFundedDate":1741309234909,"projectUrl":"project/perfect-fit-biographies-for-our-library/9141882/","projectTitle":"Perfect Fit Biographies for our Library Collection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Touchet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6249404_orig.jpg?crop=900,900,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1572837128584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-touchet"},{"teacherId":2372284,"projectId":8764701,"letterContent":"We are so thankful for the donation to our classroom.
