Your generosity has made a tangible difference in my students' learning environment and their enthusiasm for daily lessons.\r\n\r\nThe handheld whiteboard paddles, Expo pens, erasers, and storage boxes you provided have transformed how we engage with learning, especially in those unpredictable moments when the power goes out or technology falters. Instead of losing valuable instructional time, my students now grab their whiteboards and jump right into \"camp mode.\" Whether the lights are on or off, our classroom buzzes with collaboration, creativity, and focus. \r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students have learned that education can continue no matter the circumstances, and that adaptability and resourcefulness are valuable skills.

These powerful works have opened doors to cultural curiosity and fostered deeper understanding of diverse perspectives. Our students have been able to explore complex themes of identity, resilience, and empathy in ways that resonate beyond the classroom. Your contribution has directly enriched our curriculum by allowing students to engage with narratives from voices that are often underrepresented. This exposure has sparked meaningful discussions, challenged preconceived notions, and inspired a genuine appreciation for cultural diversity. Thanks to your generosity, our students are developing critical reading and analytical skills, and also growing into compassionate, globally aware individuals. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to supporting education that values cultural understanding. Your investment in our classroom has truly made a difference in nurturing open minds and kind hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1746472631537,"projectUrl":"project/books-to-cultivate-cultural-curiosity/9281951/","projectTitle":"Books to Cultivate Cultural Curiosity!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kirkland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6580228_orig.jpg?crop=959,959,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564661555843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6580228"},{"teacherId":6580228,"projectId":9099692,"letterContent":"The book club is off and running again, thanks to your generous donation Berkeley! My students wanted to get started right away, so they began reading Hillbilly Elegy during English class, then met after class to start talking about the first two chapters. We had some good discussion about the different cultures within the United States, and one culture that they were not familiar with is the Appalachian culture. They are looking forward to learning more through the author's eyes, and hopefully will have more of their questions answered as they read along. Thanks again for injecting new life into our book club through your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1744221537204,"projectUrl":"project/bookworms-bonding-through-book-club/9099692/","projectTitle":"Bookworms Bonding through Book Club!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kirkland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6580228_orig.jpg?crop=959,959,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564661555843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6580228"},{"teacherId":6580228,"projectId":9099697,"letterContent":"The books that you have so generously provided for my students' classroom library are a hit! The students were excited about starting reading The Art of Racing in the Rain because cars and dogs, two of their favorite things, caught their attention. I changed my reading curriculum to accommodate the book rather than the one I originally had planned. They were ready for something new and fresh. Since starting the book, we have had engrossing discussions about what would motivate a writer to write what they do and how the process of writing a book can have a cathartic result. As we progress through the chapters, we are looking forward to have more engrossing discussions; the student have even expressed interest in writing their own memoirs! Thanks to your generosity, my students look forward to reading and writing more.","fullyFundedDate":1744221899063,"projectUrl":"project/reading-for-recreation-and-critical-thin/9099697/","projectTitle":"Reading for Recreation and Critical Thinking!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kirkland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6580228_orig.jpg?crop=959,959,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564661555843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6580228"},{"teacherId":6580228,"projectId":9101801,"letterContent":"The students were in awe of the feminine products that arrived.

My students have expressed their gratitude in being able to hear clearly the online program that they listen and respond to, and the feeling of being more comfortable practicing speaking English knowing their fellow students are not listening in on them. The headphones provide a sense of privacy and helps my students feel more comfortable with listening to and speaking English. Additionally, their scores on daily assignments and quizzes have increased 15-20 points! Furthermore, they recently took a district benchmark exam, and all students passed! These successes were possible due to the headphones you provided. My students and I appreciate your generosity in contributing to their education and building their language acquisition skills.","fullyFundedDate":1733614019762,"projectUrl":"project/hear-ye-hear-ye/8598157/","projectTitle":"Hear Ye!
