Coming from a third grade classroom the last ten years to a 6th grade classroom, I had very little supplies. These books have been amazing for my students. \r\nThey have impacted the learning because my students are able to find books in our classroom library that are at their level. A lot of these students do not have books at home and their only source of books are from our School Library which usually puts them on a hold- list. Some of my lowest students have really dove into the war books and are loving them. \r\nWith these books, I was able to run guided reading groups with books at the students levels that were interesting to my students. It has begun to grow the love of reading within them to have books at their fingertips that they are truly interested in. \r\nI truly appreciate your donation. You have truly got my students excited to read. It has been hard to get them to put these books down and that truly is a blessing.","fullyFundedDate":1750262660642,"projectUrl":"project/amazing-new-classroom-library/9381472/","projectTitle":"Amazing New Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martindelcampo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2853059_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1549257466259","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2853059"},{"teacherId":9050606,"projectId":8486707,"letterContent":"Your support has made an incredible impact on my students and their learning experience.
