Your generosity is doing so much more than filling our shelves. It is creating opportunities for students to explore new ideas, build vocabulary, strengthen reading comprehension, learn about the world around them, and discover stories and topics that spark their curiosity. In our library, reading looks like students excitedly searching for their next book, recommending favorites to their friends, curling up with a picture book, diving into a chapter book, or discovering a nonfiction topic they never knew they were interested in. Every new book gives our students another chance to practice important literacy skills while simply enjoying the magic of getting lost in a good story.\r\n\r\nWe are already seeing students gravitate toward these new books, especially those who love animals, sports, science, adventure, funny stories, and books with characters they can connect with. Some students who may not always consider themselves \"readers\" are finding books that finally grab their attention and that is one of the most exciting things to see in a school library! Your donations are helping us create a library where every student can find something that makes them say, \"I want to read that!\" Thank you for investing in our students, their imaginations, and their love of reading. You are helping make our library a place where curiosity grows, confidence builds, and a lifelong love of books begins.","fullyFundedDate":1790818262939,"projectUrl":"project/lets-book-it/10707870/","projectTitle":"Let's Book It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Padron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10690006_orig.png?crop=548,547,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1790191261339","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/claudiapadron"},{"teacherId":8342903,"projectId":10268130,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our kindergarten classroom! My students were beyond excited when they opened the new supplies. Their smiles and enthusiasm filled the room as they explored each item and eagerly asked when they could start using them. We are already using these resources during our literacy and math centers, where students practice letter recognition, beginning reading, counting, and problem-solving through hands-on activities. The new materials have increased student engagement and confidence, making learning both fun and meaningful. As we continue our current lessons, these supplies will help us strengthen foundational reading, writing, and math skills while encouraging creativity, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning.

They were waiting patiently to be called to the carpet for small group instruction to use the comfy floor seats.\r\n\r\nI will continue using these flexible seating options during small group instruction every year to keep my students focused, excited, and comfortable during classroom instruction. \r\n\r\nThank you, thank you, thank so much!","fullyFundedDate":1778164197283,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-sit-learn-flexible-seating-for/10037703/","projectTitle":"Wiggle, Sit, Learn: Flexible Seating for First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marisela Norton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1261373_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1540412887163","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-marisela-norton"},{"teacherId":1357003,"projectId":9766252,"letterContent":"I decided to pass out the recorders as an early Christmas gift, and the students' joy at receiving such an unexpected surprise was truly indescribable.

From the moment the boxes arrived, they were filled with excitement and curiosity—asking again and again when they would finally get to use them. When the big day came, I showed them how to open the boxes, take out the easels, and set them up on their tables. The care and reverence they showed while handling their new tools was truly precious.\r\n\r\nFor our first project, we painted fall trees using acrylic paint. Having the easels made the task so much easier! Instead of leaning over their desks, students could sit comfortably, take their time, and focus on creating their masterpieces. It was incredibly joyful and humbling to watch them work so thoughtfully and complete their paintings with such pride. They even did an amazing job packing the easels away neatly for our next project—a winter forest scene.
