If it makes you feel better, I was spending the time putting your books to good use the past semester - my 7th graders were VERY appreciative of the fresh books (though, I must say, my old 8th graders' jealousy probably exceeded their gratitude). From a teaching perspective, these books allowed me to teach lessons so much more smoothly than last year, and as I tucked the 40 tatter-less covers away last week next to the few tattered books that are remaining in my cupboard, I felt another surge of gratitude.\r\n\r\nA few assignments that these books helped my students complete:\r\n- Reading checks\r\n- Choice board project (poster, timelines, and slideshows!)\r\n- Personal writing describing what characters they connected with\r\n- Evidence scavenger hunt\r\n- Passage analyses\r\n\r\nThe students also LOVED the book this year - in my end-of-semester survey, I asked them to rate their enjoyment of the book on a scale of 1 to 5, and out of 121 students, 73 rated the book as a 5/5, and only 7 rated it below a 3 (which, for middle schoolers, is fantastic). What's even better, the books are well-made and still in the EXACT same condition I received them in (thanks to some very pointed coaching on how to handle the books with care). They will continue to benefit my classroom and instruction for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1742963124690,"projectUrl":"project/quality-story-tattered-pages/9006099/","projectTitle":"Quality Story, Tattered Pages","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hardy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9873789_orig.jpg?crop=1355,1355,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734136688353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9873789"},{"teacherId":9520574,"projectId":9301542,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, I've been able to purchase a variety of new materials that have made a real difference in my classroom.

Students learned how to create 3D prints and used the cricut machine to cut out stickers. They also learned how to heat press on shirts and bags.
