Your support has brought an exciting new collection of novels into the hands of my fifth graders—books that challenge them, delight them, and help them see the world in new ways.\r\n\r\nEach title you helped provide plays a special role in our classroom. Graphic novels are helping reluctant readers build confidence and stamina. Classics and award-winning novels are sparking deep discussions about courage, identity, fairness, and friendship. Contemporary stories are opening doors to experiences and voices my students may not encounter otherwise. Most importantly, students now have the opportunity to choose books that speak to their interests, their backgrounds, and their imaginations.\r\n\r\nI've already seen the difference these books make. Students who once struggled to find a book \"that fits\" now eagerly browse our shelves. Small reading groups gather during independent reading time to talk about favorite characters and plot twists. Even my quietest students are raising their hands to share connections and insights inspired by the stories you helped us bring into our room.\r\n\r\nYour gift goes far beyond adding books to a shelf—it builds confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading. Thank you for investing in my students and for believing in the power of literature to shape young minds. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, and we will carry the impact of your support through every chapter we read this year.","fullyFundedDate":1758041617001,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-library-of-imagination-novel/9571038/","projectTitle":"Building a Library of Imagination: Novels for Growing Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6072371_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1542583785778","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6072371"},{"teacherId":540919,"projectId":9241687,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our library!\r\n\r\nI work with 650 students each week, and one of my biggest goals is to help each child find the book that's just right for them.
