Prior to receiving the titles in this project, all we had were some old school books that unfortunately my students really didn't care for. Not only do we now have books that are in considerably better condition, but these are topics that are of genuine interest to my students. Now I'm dealing with a whole another set of problems... I'm not pushing anyone to read, but instead, I'm pushing for students to share. As someone who did not enjoy reading as a child (but now does as an adult), I feel so much pride and satisfaction in knowing that I did for my students what I wish someone had done for me as a kid- show me how to enjoy reading.","fullyFundedDate":1717467279230,"projectUrl":"project/when-kids-ask-for-books/8433303/","projectTitle":"When Kids ASK for Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7109607_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673659371420","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7109607"},{"teacherId":7707324,"projectId":10131560,"letterContent":"The students in our Resource class were so grateful for these books. They were in disbelief when I explained that we received this donation of books due to the kindness of a stranger. \r\n\r\nThe Roald Dahl set has been an absolute hit! One student quickly made her way through The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and even asked if she could borrow Matilda to take home. She knew Matilda was one of my favorites as a child, and she pinky promised she would care for it and return it as soon as she was done. \r\n\r\nAnother student asked his mom to write a note on his behalf to ask if he could borrow a Plants vs Zombies book over the weekend. When he came back the following week, he asked to borrow the next book in the set. He had been a reluctant reader all year, so I was glad to see him show some interest... little did he know, I asked for that set especially for him because I noticed he usually picked Plants vs Zombies coloring pages as his reward!","fullyFundedDate":1773874307988,"projectUrl":"project/reading-in-the-resource-room/10131560/","projectTitle":"Reading in the Resource Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valadez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7707324_orig.jpg?crop=1899,1899,x69,y169&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708306047739","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/valadez"},{"teacherId":10236442,"projectId":9672405,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the books, classroom supplies, and soft cushions you generously gave to our second grade class.

Reading time now looks more joyful and focused. A few reluctant readers who previously avoided nonfiction are now excited to explore topics like animals and space, and several students have asked for extra independent reading time.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your support.
