Because of your generosity, my students now have access to engaging, age-appropriate texts that make learning about insects exciting and meaningful.\r\n\r\nDuring our insect study, each student selected a specific insect to research using the books you provided. They learned how to gather facts from nonfiction text, study photographs and diagrams, and identify key information. Using their research, students wrote their own \"All About\" books, sharing what they learned about insect body parts, habitats, diets, and life cycles.\r\n\r\nThese books gave my students the opportunity to feel like real scientists and authors. They were proud to read, write, and teach others about their insects, and their confidence as readers and writers grew with each page they completed. The nonfiction texts you helped provide will continue to be used year after year, supporting curiosity, inquiry, and a love of learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a place where learning comes alive. Your support truly made a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1758819536991,"projectUrl":"project/buzzing-into-learning-books-to-support/9550526/","projectTitle":"Buzzing into Learning: Books to Support Our Insect Unit!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp566285_orig.jpg?crop=1418,1418,x0,y567&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754575167976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-dougherty"},{"teacherId":9774201,"projectId":8914599,"letterContent":"Thank you again for donating to our classroom and to our wonderful students.
