Every time that we got a new shipment in, I opened the new books in front of the class and they all screamed with excitement! They keep asking for quiet times in class when they can sit and read a new book. With the addition of our classroom library we are now able to have quiet afternoon readings. The students vote on a chapter book and every afternoon, they all sit on the carpet and I am able to read them a few chapters. This is also very helpful to my students that do not have the ability to read yet but still enjoy listening to a new story. This would not have been possible without your support. My little Champions at South Mountain are beyond grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1744759518069,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-library/9255588/","projectTitle":"Classroom Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Simpson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8645851"},{"teacherId":8257312,"projectId":6427521,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, my students now have the materials they need to fully engage in hands-on STEM learning and the impact has been incredible! When the supplies arrived, my students lit up with excitement. \"Are these really for us?\" one student asked, wide-eyed as they held up the new items. The whiteboards were a game changer for our math sessions students could finally focus without distractions, and their confidence grew as they tackled lessons at their own pace. We turned math review into fun, collaborative games that got everyone participating and thinking out loud.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was during our fraction's unit: using counting cubes and colored pencils, students created visual models and explained their strategies to the class. A student who usually hesitates to speak up proudly shared their work and the class applauded! Your donation didn't just buy materials it created moments of discovery, confidence, and joy in learning.
