Your generous donations have helped turn my classroom into a warmer, cozier space that the students feel excited to learn in. The rug is located in our library and is where we gather to read new stories, enjoy free time, and have small-group learning. \r\nOn the first day of school when students entered the room for the first time I overheard many of them whisper to one another \"I like this room\" and a huge reason for that is our colorful, inviting rug! As a teacher I love that the rug is already fire-retardent and non-slip which ensures safety and compliance with fire safety laws. \r\nEngaging students is always a huge goal of teachers and I appreciate that this helps kids excited to be in our room and read.

They were so excited!

With your support, our students have been diving into his timeless short stories, and it's been nothing short of transformational.\r\n\r\nThese stories have opened up new ways for students to explore themes like censorship, technology, conformity, and the power of imagination. We've used Bradbury's work to introduce and practice critical reading skills such as identifying theme, analyzing character motivation, and understanding figurative language and symbolism. His vivid writing has sparked deep conversations and thoughtful journal responses, encouraging students to make connections between fiction and their own lives.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading doesn't just mean flipping pages—it's a shared experience. Students read aloud in groups, annotate together, act out scenes, and even create alternate endings or storyboards to visualize what they've read. There's been laughter, intense debate, and those wonderful moments when a student says, \"Wait—this story gave me chills!\"\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we're building not just better readers, but lifelong lovers of literature and thinkers with vivid imaginations. Your generosity has helped make reading exciting, meaningful, and unforgettable.","fullyFundedDate":1744219469387,"projectUrl":"project/bring-students-some-amazing-ray-bradbury/9230522/","projectTitle":"Bring Students Some Amazing Ray Bradbury Short Stories!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. C.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4077617_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1479266306490","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-cross-class"},{"teacherId":3036854,"projectId":8322152,"letterContent":"My Kindergarten class was overjoyed with their individual beeswax stick and block crayons.
