Your contribution is truly meaningful, and we are incredibly grateful for your commitment to helping young readers grow and succeed.\r\n\r\nThese books have already begun to make a powerful impact in our classroom. We use them in a variety of ways—during whole group read-alouds, in study groups, and as part of small book club interventions. This flexibility allows us to meet students where they are and support their individual reading and comprehension needs in engaging and meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBeyond strengthening literacy skills, these stories open the door to important historical events and perspectives. Many of our students are building background knowledge that will shape their understanding of the world today. For some, these books provide their first exposure to significant moments in history—experiences they may not have encountered otherwise.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping to create confident readers, thoughtful learners, and curious minds. Because of you, our students are not only improving their reading skills but also gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making such a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1773862450315,"projectUrl":"project/a-step-back-in-time-through-books/9986528/","projectTitle":"A Step Back in Time Through Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lucas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8675126_orig.jpg?crop=1206,1205,x0,y201&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683746751887","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8675126"},{"teacherId":9716467,"projectId":9615438,"letterContent":"I am incredibly grateful for the donations to my classroom project. Not only have my students absolutely loved our new items, but their investment and excitement for reading has grown immensly. My goal of this project was to grow my students' love and interest in learning and the results have done just that! \r\n\r\nMy students have especially loved the reading phones. They love reading to self even more now and love getting to hear themselves as they read. They use them consistently and always \"show off\" to me when they are using them. \r\n\r\nTheir new nonfiction books have also been a huge hit! We are using them for our research project and the students are loving them. Best of all, I used to notice students never choosing to read nonfiction, and now it is most of their first choices! \r\n\r\nAgain, I truly cannot thank you enough for your generous donations.

This project benefited two classes, and many students truly enjoyed building their airplanes.\r\n\r\nThe engineering project tied in perfectly with our science unit on forces. After creating their airplanes, students explored which force would make them move—did they need a push or a pull? It was so much fun watching them experiment with different approaches and listening to the thoughtful discussions they had with one another along the way.\r\n\r\nThe airplane building sets were a huge success and greatly enhanced student learning during this lesson.

It also helped some students utilize speech-to-text to efficiently write at grade level.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the \"recording studios\" was to reduce background noise and allow for a clear recording, but a added benefit was the boost of self confidence students got through being able to practice out loud without feeling self-conscious.
