Because of your support, our 4th grade students now have access to the entire Harry Potter book series, and it has already made a magical impact.\r\n\r\nWe read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as a class read-aloud, and the students were captivated from the very first chapter. One of their favorite parts was the final dungeon scene, where Harry and his friends had to solve puzzles and overcome magical challenges. That scene sparked a great discussion about teamwork, bravery, and problem-solving. It was incredible to watch their imaginations light up!\r\n\r\nHaving the full series available in our classroom library is truly a gift. Many students are now eager to continue reading on their own, diving deeper into the world of Hogwarts and following Harry's journey through all seven books. This opportunity will not only challenge them as readers but also help them grow in their love of literature.\r\n\r\nWe also want to thank you for the Harry Potter stickers included in the donation! The kids loved them and used them to create personalized bookmarks, which made reading time feel even more special.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought excitement, inspiration, and a touch of magic to our classroom. We're so grateful for your support in helping our students become lifelong readers.","fullyFundedDate":1739369085029,"projectUrl":"project/harry-potter-for-the-modern-muggle/8935783/","projectTitle":"Harry Potter for the Modern Muggle","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nicoson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2521762"},{"teacherId":354173,"projectId":8670615,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our project \"Reading Haven.\" Because of your contributions, I was able to transform our classroom library. \r\nThe students now enjoy comfy flexible seating, which creates a relaxing atmosphere for reading their favorite books.

Many students also love gathering around the floor-level table to share their favorite books with one another. \r\nThey were so excited to return from Christmas break to see the mini renovation, and they cheered for the organization we now have.
