Your generous support provided a new collection of books for our classroom library. These books arrived at the perfect time. They renewed my students' the enthusiasm for reading throughout the entire classroom. \r\n Many of these texts were informational text. Those were the first to be read. I watched as one student would complete a book and suggest that text to another student. As they were working collaboratively in groups, I would hear conversations about the informational books they were reading. \r\n Several of my students were struggling with finding books that caught their interest. but that was not the issue after we received these books. Many of the texts were books they had asked for. Seeing their faces light up as they connected with stories was extremely rewarding.

The box sets were loved due to the materials included. There was a fossil and a magnifying glass that was used a lot during that center.
