It really means a lot to my students to have a variety of books to choose from. Especially when we want them to find the love of reading. I believe that the more book options they have the easier it is for them to choose what they are interested in, in turn makes them want to read more. I love nothing more than when a student finds a book that they want to read and finds the enjoyment of it so greatly, that they want to tell you all about what they read.\r\nThank you for allowing them to have this opportunity.","fullyFundedDate":1641985576787,"projectUrl":"project/books-books-and-more-books/5884535/","projectTitle":"Books, Books, and More Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tammy Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7193676"},{"teacherId":4246372,"projectId":8860690,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for supplying my classroom with heavyweight drawing paper, sharpie markers, cleaning wipes, fluorescent tempera paints, aluminum foil sheets, liquid glue, and watercolor paint. All of these materials have gone to good use. For the tin foil, second graders drew mason jars filled with fireflies, colored in crayon (for a wax resist). They then used washable markers to color the tinfoil, which I sprayed with water, and pressed onto their drawings. This created a beautiful tie-dye effect, which wowed the students. Without you, we couldn't have made amazing experiments like this happen.

They came out looking like amazing little pillowy pieces of art! Another favorite material of my students is acrylic markers. We have been using them to work on our art show pieces (coming this February). The theme is vintage Las Vegas signs, and we are very excited to show off our work!
