I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom. Your support has brought so much excitement, creativity, and pride to our students, and it has truly transformed the way we learn together.\r\nThe students were overjoyed to receive their wallets for our Tiger Tickets—they now use them to shop at our Tiger Store as a reward for positive behavior. One student who used to be shy about participating has proudly taken on the role of \"ticket manager,\" helping his classmates count and organize their tickets each week. The dot paint has turned math into a colorful adventure, with students eagerly \"dotting\" their numbers and discovering that learning can be both fun and artistic. The sensory connect sets and squeeze scissors have also been wonderful additions, helping our younger learners strengthen fine motor skills while expressing their creativity and independence.\r\nYour kindness has made our classroom a brighter, more inspiring place to learn.

When the dry erase markers arrived, students were thrilled to use the bright colors to show their work during math lessons—especially when solving multi-step problems. One standout moment was during a fractions lesson where students color-coded numerators and denominators, helping everyone better visualize and understand the process. The colorful Mr. Sketch and Crayola markers brought our science poster projects to life, and the students loved choosing scents while creating their diagrams. The Akro-Mils drawer storage system has become a classroom favorite; each student now has their own drawer, promoting responsibility and reducing clutter. They love having a personal space, and I've noticed fewer lost supplies and smoother transitions between activities. The Lysol spray has helped keep our space clean and safe, which is especially important during cold and flu season. Moving forward, students will use these materials in a collaborative project where they'll design and present persuasive posters for a mock school campaign. Visual organization, color coding, and access to their materials are giving them more confidence and independence.

They were so excited to help me open the packages and sort through every pennant. They immediately began pointing out schools they recognized and asking about ones they had never heard of before. Hanging the pennants in our Tiger Den and around the school has sparked conversations about college. My hope is that this little detail continues to inspired our students to start imagining themselves at one of these colleges some day.\r\n\r\nThese visual reminders have become a powerful way to plant seeds of possibility into our students. During a lunch bunch, a student asked, \"How do you get into college?\" while another proudly shared that their sibling wants to go to college after high school. It has been incredible to watch their curiosity grow!\r\n\r\nAs a next step, I'll be incorporating the pennants into my college and career awareness lessons and campaign.

As a school counselor at a Title I school in Watts, my mission is to help students grow into emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and confident individuals. These books have become essential tools in supporting that mission.\r\n\r\nThe titles you helped provide, including the Ninja Life Hacks, The Bad Seed collection, I Am Enough, The Invisible String, and so many others, have sparked rich discussions and deep personal growth in my students. I use these books during one-on-one counseling, small groups, and classroom guidance lessons to teach students how to recognize, understand, and express their emotions in healthy ways.\r\n\r\nOne especially impactful moment came after reading \"What If Everybody Did That?\" A student who often left trash behind in the cafeteria had a breakthrough and said, \"If everybody did that, the whole school would be dirty.\" That one comment opened the door to a powerful conversation about personal responsibility and the importance of thinking about how our actions affect others. Another student who often struggled with anger now regularly asks to read Breathing Makes It Better when he's upset. He told me the book helps him calm down and remember to \"breathe like the kids in the story.\"\r\n\r\nThese stories have helped my students feel seen, supported, and more in control of their feelings. They are learning to be more patient, kind, and reflective. They are learning that their emotions are valid, and that they have the power to make positive choices.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible.

Prior to receiving this book, many of my students expressed disinterest in reading, often perceiving it as a chore rather than an enjoyable activity. However, the whimsical and engaging narrative of \"Matilda\" has transformed their perspective. The story of a young girl who uses her intelligence and imagination to overcome adversity resonates with them, fostering a sense of empowerment and curiosity. As they delve into Matilda's adventures, students have not only been captivated by the storyline but have also been inspired to explore other literary works. This has led to an increase in book discussions and peer recommendations, creating a vibrant reading culture in our classroom. The themes of resilience, friendship, and the importance of education have sparked discussions that extend beyond the pages of the book, allowing students to connect the story to their personal experiences and feelings.\r\nMoreover, the book donation has facilitated numerous educational opportunities. We have organized group readings, where students take turns reading aloud, enhancing their fluency and comprehension skills. These sessions have also encouraged collaboration, as students support each other in understanding complex themes and vocabulary. Following our reading of \"Matilda,\" students engaged in creative projects, such as writing their own short stories inspired by Matilda's character traits. This not only nurtured their creative writing skills but also reinforced their understanding of character development and narrative structure. Additionally, the book has become a springboard for cross-curricular learning; we have explored themes in science, such as the importance of education and the power of the mind, through discussions and related activities. The donation has truly enriched our curriculum, making learning more dynamic and engaging. The love for reading fostered by \"Matilda\" has not only improved literacy skills but also built a supportive community where students feel valued and inspired to think critically and express themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1746482600721,"projectUrl":"project/matildas-magic-inspiring-a-love-for-re/9320891/","projectTitle":"Matilda's Magic: Inspiring a Love for Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Washington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8187150"},{"teacherId":8176086,"projectId":5993842,"letterContent":"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our guided reading library project at our Title I Magnet and STEAM prep school in Watts, CA.
