Reading in our room now looks like joyful focus: students cozying up in flexible-seating spots, swapping recommendations, and eagerly tracking their progress in their reading logs. Several reluctant readers have become some of our most enthusiastic book-talkers; one student who rarely finished a book is now deep into a series and proudly sharing predictions with classmates. Your support didn't just put books on our shelves—it sparked confidence, curiosity, and a reading culture that is growing every day.

Students are practicing not only comprehension strategies (like summarizing and identifying key ideas) but also applying math skills as they calculate money decisions. The texts spark meaningful discussions that tie reading and mathematics together in authentic ways.\r\n\r\nWhen we read together, students use annotation codes to track important ideas, highlight vocabulary, and make connections to their own lives. In small groups, they take turns as \"discussion leaders,\" asking questions like, What would you do if you had to save for something important? Reading isn't passive—it's interactive, social, and fun.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, our classroom is full of energy, curiosity, and collaboration.

My students hand-selected the titles of the books you helped bring into our classroom, which gave them a true sense of ownership over their learning. From the moment the books arrived, the excitement was palpable—students were eager to dive in, explore stories that reflected their cultures and interests, and share their favorites with one another.\r\n\r\nThis project had a profound impact on their love of reading. Students who once struggled to find joy in books began reading independently and eagerly discussing characters and plots with their peers. The new library not only motivated them, but it also supported their growth in reading comprehension. This progress was evident in their performance on the state ELA exam, where so many demonstrated measurable improvement.\r\n\r\nEven though these students have now moved on to 5th grade, the influence of this project continues. Many of them still visit my classroom to borrow independent reading books from this library. It has become a safe and welcoming space where they know their voices matter, their cultures are celebrated, and their love of reading is nurtured.\r\n\r\nYour support has created lasting change—not just for one year, but for years to come.

They were especially thrilled by the treats, but even something as simple as having tissues readily available sparked conversations about taking care of themselves and each other.
