Thank you for helping me setting up a strong learning culture in my new Science classroom. This project made it possible for me to plan and create homework routines, unit study guides, additional projects, and SBAC test prep before the start of the new school year. The different resources have allowed for me to plan Science in a way that meets every one of my student's needs. The science posters and daily science practice materials have heavily supported retainment and comprehension of our lessons. They giant concept posters help students visualize outer worldly concepts in a way that helps then internalize and understand how the world around them works. My Science class is off to a great year, and I owe that to this project.

Students have expressed loving my library because of all the different types of chapter books and graphic novels available.

Oh, and our 1 color printer that is shared with everyone on campus. is always out of ink. \r\n\r\nFor as long as I can remember, print jobs have never been as easy and hitting print or hitting copy. That was, until this project. A former teacher gifted me a printer, but she had ran out of ink.

A peer reading a comic book in class would not be celebrated as a kid who is developing a love for reading, but instead be reprimanded and encouraged to put that \"stuff\" away. I am so grateful to be surrounded by folks who recognize that that is not the case. Comics and graphic novels are educational, they are reading practice, and I have seen the impact this project has had on my student's reading fluency. and overall reading journey. This project has helped build confidence in reading for several of my struggling readers and EL students. Due to the variety and popularity of the comics in this project, the students who need the most practice don't feel isolated or singled out.

They'll also practice citing evidence from the text to support their thinking and answers an essential skill that will continue to grow throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping provide these books for our classroom.

Before this project, many of my students had limited access to books at home, and the ones they did have were often too challenging to read on their own. Now, thanks to you, they are surrounded by engaging, appropriately leveled books that they are excited—and able—to read independently.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and meaningful. Students eagerly browse the shelves, recognizing titles they helped choose and feeling a sense of ownership over their reading. There is a noticeable increase in enthusiasm during independent reading time—what was once a quiet requirement has become a moment they genuinely look forward to each day. They are not only reading more, but also building confidence in their abilities as readers.\r\n\r\nThese books are more than just materials; they are opportunities. For many of my students and their families, purchasing books is simply not feasible. Your support has helped bridge that gap, ensuring that every child has access to stories that spark their curiosity and reflect their interests. Each book is treated with great care and appreciation, and students take pride in having a classroom library that feels truly theirs.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, you are helping to cultivate a lasting love of reading. As students spend more time with books they enjoy, they are strengthening essential literacy skills and beginning to see themselves as capable, confident readers. This is a gift that will extend far beyond our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for making such a meaningful difference in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1768793903112,"projectUrl":"project/reading-is-fun-for-everyone/10023856/","projectTitle":"Reading is Fun for Everyone!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ontiveros","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp129706_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471329625646","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nontiveros"},{"teacherId":8948287,"projectId":9941788,"letterContent":"Every day when I pick up my kids from their classrooms, the first thing they do when they enter our learning space is choose a fidget.
