This collection has brought immense joy and excitement to our students, transforming their reading experience and enriching their learning in ways beyond the traditional curriculum.\r\n\r\nOur new books serve multiple purposes, carefully chosen to support key lessons and social development. We now have engaging titles that explore comparing and contrasting different versions of stories, helping students deepen their comprehension skills. Other selections guide children through understanding and managing emotions and recognizing the importance of empathy and friendship. Additionally, our library features stories about various family traditions, cultures, and holidays, broadening students' perspectives and fostering inclusivity.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding outcomes has been the creation of a cozy reading corner, a space where students naturally gravitate. Instead of turning to screens, they eagerly ask for reading time after finishing assignments, choosing books over tablets. Sitting in small pods, they immerse themselves in stories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed—those valuable narratives missing from the standard curriculum but essential to diverse learning needs. This accessibility is crucial because every student learns differently; some benefit greatly from extra time with stories that clarify complex concepts or introduce new ideas.\r\n\r\nBy enriching our classroom library, we have nurtured not only literacy but also curiosity, social awareness, and cultural appreciation. This initiative highlights the importance of diverse educational tools that meet students' varied styles and backgrounds. As we look ahead, we hope this library continues to inspire a lifelong love of reading and learning—for every child to find their own corner of discovery within these pages.","fullyFundedDate":1755738599400,"projectUrl":"project/a-colorful-library/9597637/","projectTitle":"A Colorful Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Serna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2205758_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755488970485","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/theunicornteacher"},{"teacherId":2205758,"projectId":8758373,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

I don't have to worry about dried-up white-board markers or searching for erasers. Students love doing math on them. They are a good size for all their calculations. I give them 2 minutes at the end of our session to draw a picture and put their name on their board so they can find it the next day. It's always the first thing they do. They walk in, grab their board, and they are ready to go. It doesn't matter if we are doing geometry, number & operations, or measurement, the boards are the perfect addition to my math class. My first graders all the way to my fifth graders love to use them.
