I have almost every single book you donated being read currently by a student in one of my three classes. I especially appreciate some of the sports books I received. A lot of my current classroom library is filled with books that are more geared towards girls, so it is so awesome to have some books that some of my boys will enjoy as well! \r\n\r\nIt is the coolest feeling to look out into the classroom during silent reading time and seeing the students reading some of the donated books. They're already starting conversations with each other about the books, which is what I wanted all along! I true and genuine love for reading.
