My students were highly engaged like never before! They looked forward to cracking open their BFG books everyday without griping about it!! They engaged in deep thought, especially in terms of way the giant spoke. He was very relatable to many students who sometimes don't always use the precise language they want to and can often make them feel unintelligent. Yet, they can still come up with brilliant ideas. This became one of the many takeaways for my students that resonated with them the most.\r\nThey conversed with each other on another level. Through intellectual comparisons with their partners, they were able to expand their thinking and knowledge of themes and characters. They loved sharing their own and partner's thoughts whole class where they supported others' thoughts or politely disagreed with details from the text.\r\nThank you, again, for this amazing experience! They still talk about the book despite having read it months ago! The wonderful memories of 4th grade my students will have will follow them into adulthood.","fullyFundedDate":1763474713231,"projectUrl":"project/what-if-giants-were-real/9872406/","projectTitle":"What If Giants Were Real?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7922306"},{"teacherId":9442445,"projectId":9919853,"letterContent":"Thank you sincerely for your support. The goldfish and fruit snacks were used in our 100th day snack. They have also been given to students who were hungry during the school day and given out on rainy days to help encourage students to stay focused. \r\n\r\nIt is truly meaningful to know that there are still people who remain deeply committed to the well-being and education of our students. They come to us with many needs and your generosity ensures that hunger is not one of them.

In the past, my class kept their supplies and reading folders in caddies, while textbooks were stored on a shelf. This system often led to congestion and disruption when students needed to retrieve their textbooks. In addition, the reading folders sometimes obstructed students' view of the board.\r\n\r\nWith the donated resources, students are now able to store both their reading folders and textbooks in the chair pockets. This change has significantly improved organization and efficiency in our classroom. Students can access their materials independently and seamlessly, reducing chaos and transition time. Also, being able to store their reading folders in the chair pockets has improved visibility, allowing students to maintain an unobstructed view of the board and remain more focused on instruction. \r\n\r\nWe are extremely grateful for this improvement.","fullyFundedDate":1763474787910,"projectUrl":"project/organized-chaos/9446486/","projectTitle":"Organized Chaos!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Vue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9442445_orig.jpg?crop=533,533,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705763594640","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9442445"},{"teacherId":9442445,"projectId":9405321,"letterContent":"I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of computer chargers.
