These books will allow our students to physically see that stories that are included in programs are in fact real books and are worthy of reading multiple times. \r\n These books will hopefully open our students eyes to the world around them, showing them that reading is awesome and you can learn so many things. Maybe someday one of these students will change the world with their ideas and books will be written about them or their ideas. \r\n The chapter books we have received have been so enticing, the students want to see the portions we read as well as find out what the rest of the story lays out. We have been learning about Literary elements and finding text evidence and these students are diving head first to see how the story plays out. \r\n Thank you again for purchasing these books and allowing my students and the students on the grade a chance to break through walls and see the future as exciting as it should be when you grab a great book and read.","fullyFundedDate":1767128119799,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds-one-book-at-a-time/9809050/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diesman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3581400_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1461251251211","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/joelle-diesman"},{"teacherId":9318280,"projectId":9691731,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom with new technology.
