Wow, thank you all so much! I received the books on Monday afternoon. By Tuesday I had the boxes open and had started taking inventory of the items to make sure I had received all of them. I had students visit before school started and one peeked into the boxes, grabbed a book, and asked if she could check it out! She had just finished the first book and she was so excited I had #2 available for her. I quickly organized the rest of the books yesterday and they will be on shelves later today for all students to check out and read.\r\n\r\nOrdering from a vendor also saves me so much time. Instead of having to manually add every single book individually. Now, I can just add genre labels and scan into the computer. Before, I had to type and print out spine labels, position labels and barcodes, search in the catalog to add, cover books with mylar or Kapco covers, etc. etc. Each book takes several minutes, which adds up! \r\n\r\nAppreciate donors like you who continually support schools across the country!","fullyFundedDate":1763253869167,"projectUrl":"project/best-books-from-2024-2025/9756716/","projectTitle":"Best Books From 2024 - 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gualano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6865509_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1615607727208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gualano"},{"teacherId":6865509,"projectId":9756791,"letterContent":"Oh my goodness! The books are flying off the shelves! I had a couple boys notice the new manga behind my desk and ask me what was going on. I explained I had to get them library ready and to please wait a few days. They asked me to prioritize JJK (Jujutsu Kaisen) and could they please help? These boys started coming during their homeroom and LUNCH in order to type up spine labels, attach barcodes, and stamp dates on all the books. Now, they've decided it's a good idea to separate graphic novels from manga and are completely rearranging that section. \r\n\r\nI honestly love being able to provide my students with manga. Not everyone thinks they're a legitimate form of literature, but talking with these kids, they discuss plot, character development, and have strong opinions on what characters are storylines are best.

At first, the teacher was a tad discouraged to realize there were several students who had already read, but their enthusiasm for the novel and willingness to read it again, encouraged her!\r\n\r\nThey will be reading the novel as a class, with students popcorn reading. The teacher is looking forward to the discussions the novel will create with regards to plot, character development, and friendships. The author's descriptions of daily life for an immigrant child in the 80s are fascinating, and should generate a lot of conversations about similarities and differences for the students. \r\n\r\nThank you for your support for this project!","fullyFundedDate":1758897772500,"projectUrl":"project/front-desk-for-all/9575226/","projectTitle":"Front Desk for All","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gualano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6865509_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1615607727208","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-gualano"},{"teacherId":3225399,"projectId":9683824,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has helped several classroom at our school to have their air filters, that needed serious replacing to be replaced.

I apologize for the delay. Generally, the library is a quiet(ish) place for students to read, work on homework, or study.

However, on Fridays, I do like to have additional options for students, which includes some simple games that can be completed during a lunch period. Card games like Uno and Monopoly Deal are perfect for this! Students who might feel left out can more easily join an organized game than a casual conversation, and also helps make the library a fun and enjoyable place to be. :)\r\n\r\nThe books, of course, are necessary for a library!
